Look for puglvr post. She does a major prune with great results.

I would re-pot it but not prune it. Those nodules look like new branches getting ready to push out. If they are instead flowers, then take the top off the tree. JMHO.

I'm with Tammy...prune it. Get a strong, compact plant.

Thank you gang!

I would love it if it was going to be putting out new branches, I will wait and see!

I have a larger pot I bought just in case.. I will have to get it in that pot.

Do you think Miracle Grow soil is ok? I just happen to have some in the garage but I had read not to give it too much chemical fertilizer the first year, wondered what you all thought.

I don't know a thing about natural fert. but the article recommended fish emulsion. I was going to talk to my local place about it.

I have read several of puglvr's posts. I saw where she was talking about really cutting back one of her mangos. I can not see the pix.. just red X's, I will check for more of her posts.

I would wait until that new center spike just starts growing and then snip it off. That should make all of those side buds start popping and you will have a well branched tree.

Just my two cents here...I think the tree is too thin at the top. If it starts producing branches, you will have to support the top and then it will never strengthen up. If not supported, first gusty windy wind that comes thru and it will prune the top for you!

To give you an idea of how Puglvr pruned her new tree, picture a spot about 3-5" at most above the graft. THAT is where she would be making her cut. And there is no mistaking the results she obtained. I always thought I pruned back hard with good results. Her mangos prove I could have gone even further. Again...I champion pruning for a lot of reasons and again...just my two cents. It's an agonizing decision and only you has to be comfortable with it! Good luck.

I have 4 mangos and pruned 2 like pug does so they were only about 2-2.5 ft tall. I have a glen that looks like yours and regret NOT pruning it.

Daisyhair...Tammy and I are going to sneek over while you're not there and prune your mango!!!! LOL!

Daisy,

Here are some pictures of the Haden that I pruned you couldn't see from the older post... Again, it is your tree, so the final decision is yours whether to prune it or not. Just showing you what I've done with my Haden.
Shortly after I planted it...

After I pruned it very "hard"

Taken today...remember this was damaged during the Jan. freeze...lost (all) 100% of its leaves...recovering slowly
{{gwi:1315122}}

For me the main reason I hard pruned this Haden is because from what I've read it can become a very tall and large tree...which I didn't want, as you can see this definitely has the potential to become a "Dwarf" size by maintaining it and pruning it every year...or I guess the freeze will just do it for me every year, lol... Good luck with whatever you decide to do! If you use the MG soil, make sure you use lots of drainage mixed with it...MG soil is known for retaining a lot of water. With our rainy season just around the corner...this is will be very detrimental for your tree, mango trees does not like "wet and soggy soil". Just my two cents! Fish Emulsion is great for fertilzer, you can also use some "Slow release" fert. mixed in your soil when you repot it...so it won't burn the leaves.

Daisy,

Let us know what you decide to do...prune or not prune? Will you also repot? Just curious. Inquiring minds want to know,lol...
