Zone 9B/10A FL: This is my on-going documentary on the life of my Mahachanok mango tree. I mainly focus showing you my before and after pruning look for this tree. I spend the first two years shaping the trunk and main limbs before I let the canopy start to form. I am growing my Mahachanok mango tree as a shade tree in front of my house.

6/5/25: Here is the most current update of my Mahachanok mango tree. I thinned out all branches that were criss crossing or rubbing against one another so that it will not become a problem later. I will let my tree flower next year. No more pruning for this tree until after fruiting season in 2026.
The documentary of my Mahachanok mango tree started 5/13/23: I bought my young Mahachanok mango tree in a three-gallon pot from Leaph Leaph of Leaph’s Fruit Trees in West Palm Beach. Here are reasons why I chose because of the following reasons:
- The fruit is beautifully shaped with a long slender shape
- flat seed
- Beautiful overall tree shape and growth habit with dark green slender mango foliage
- When green, it’s crunchy sour and can be eaten with chili dip or pickled or used in Vietnamese mango salads
- when ripened, it’s soft, fiberless, very sweet with a unique flavor
5/26/23: It is the day my friend Andy Baylis came to rehomed my Siatong mango and planted this Mahachanok mango tree down into to the ground.
