- Fertilization: Mango/tropical fertilizer with higher potassium; 3×/yr (spring, post-harvest, late summer). Avoid excess nitrogen.
- Pruning: Remove crossing branches and lightly head back after harvest to maintain 8–10′ height and good light penetration.
- Pest & Disease: If spring is wet, apply preventative copper/sulfur during bloom to limit anthracnose on panicles/fruit.
- Seasonal Notes: Young trees are frost-sensitive—use covers/lights on freeze nights; mulch 2–3″ kept off trunk.

- Fertilization: Mango/tropical fertilizer with higher potassium; 3×/yr (spring, post-harvest, late summer). Avoid excess nitrogen.
- Pruning: Vigorous—head back after harvest and open center for light and airflow; target 10–12′.
- Pest & Disease: Monitor for scale and mealybugs; remove dropped fruit promptly. In humid months, consider copper on bloom to deter anthracnose.
