Mango FAQ

Climate, Cold & Container GrowingShould container mango roots be cut back on a fixed annual schedule?

Base the decision on root condition, available space, and the tree's ability to recover, rather than the anniversary of its last repotting. Root cutting is an injury and should have a clear purpose, such as addressing a specific deformity or managing confinement. Ask an experienced mango nursery to assess a valuable specimen before substantial work. There is no universal percentage of roots to remove that can be applied safely to every tree and environment.
