There's not really enough info for even a decent guess here. Can you post some pictures of what you had done and what the tree looks like? Has anything else changed? Was the tree completely healthy (so far as you know) before it was pruned? Are conditions (weather, etc) unusual in any way at your location? Are the leaves and stems only falling from around the pruning cuts, or does it appear that something systemic is going on (pictures may help more here)? Were you there when they pruned the tree? Anything unusual happen during pruning? Try to give us at least something more to go on.

aw come on brandon.. there's enough to guess ...

leaves that were in total shade.. were blistered to brown once the upper leaves took away the shade. ..

once the sun acclimated leaves on top were thinned. the understory leaves.. w/o their spf 4000 ... sun burned and crispified ...

can you.. relate all the leaves lost to those type of leaves??? they were under that which was removed ????

if you dont like that speculation.. post some pix ...

Yeah, but Ken, I don't have the same nearly omniscient intuition you sometimes seem to have. That's why you are such a valuable member of our community. (-:

ps...now you owe me. LOL

yeah.. i like the Sherlock Holmes part of solving the mystery ...

but other than that WAG .... i have no clue based on the little facts.. and no pic ...

who knows.. could be on pluto with that guess.. lol ..

if i trim mango tree do roots stop growing?

"If i trim mango tree do roots stop growing?"

Significant pruning will stop or reduce top growth. This is a pretty open ended question though. I'm not sure whether to picture bonsai or severe root damage resulting in the weakening or even death of the tree. For more specific advise, please consider giving us more info in a new thread.
