My Venus Mango Tree

My Venus mango tree documentary started in March 2024, updated 9/13/24, and ended (to be determined). I am mainly focusing on sharing the visual growth progress of my Venus mango tree and will update this documentary every time I prune my Venus mango tree.

Venus mango is one of my most favorite mango tree so I want to let it grow big but will try my best to keep it under 15-feet tall. That’s my goal. Venus mango tree is a vigorous grower. To keep it under under 15 feet tall, it will require hard pruning at least once a year.

Important mango pruning notes:

ALWAYS make the cut at an angle so rainwater can flow downward and not stay on the flat top to rot the branch.

Cutting BELOW the ring will encourage staggered branching.

Pruning off the branches right above the ring will create multiple new branching around the ring. Making the branches vulnerable and weak in strong winds.

9/13/24: Okay, OCD doesn’t really like the im

imbalance looks of this Y-shaped tree. I wanted to train the tree to be like a stepping ladder for my tree guys to climb on and cut back the neighbor’s oak branches hovering my yard in the future.

9/12/24: I pruned the lower side branches so the canopy starts above four feet high. Photo collages show my Venus mango tree from three side angles.

3/23/24: I bought a Venus mango tree from Leaph’s Fruit Trees in West Palm Beach and will be planting this beauty in my edible backyard in Oviedo, Florida. “Leaph Leaph” is my favorite licensed fruit tree seller on Facebook when it comes to buying healthy mango trees and rare tropical fruit trees.
