How often should I add copper to a mango tree and how much should I add? Thanks.
It depends. Are you using copper as a fungicide or as a nutrient? Let us know and we can give you a more accurate answer.
I want to know how would I grow and take care of mango trees and pawpaw, and what soil I will use, especially at winter.

I am building my house where I have one mango tree about 4 ft from foundation. So what should I do to prevent my house foundation from mango roots without cutting the tree? Thanks in advance.
While mangoes are not considered a tree with a particularly invasive root system, it is recommended that they be planted 25-30' from houses, because they are quite large. If the tree at your building site is young, can you have it moved? If not, you can install a root barrier between the house and the tree.

My tree seems to have a mildew disease. I have some 80% sulphur but please can you tell me how much to use per litre?
According to my research, you can mix 4 tablespoons of wettable sulfur powder per gallon of water in a pump sprayer/spray bottle.

My mango is mutating the seed while it is still developing on the tree. Every mango on the tree, while it is still being developed, is mutating and when the mango is ripe and you get to the seed, there is a split in the seed and a young plant or seed is coming out. The tree is only recently doing this and I am really concerned.
I have heard of this effect, called Vivipary in tomatoes, but this is the first question I have seen with Mango fruit effected.
I did find that Mango also can suffer from Vivipary, which is generally when the fruit is overripe but not necessarily.
A natural hormone, abscisic acid or ABA is reduced and seed dormancy is lost.
It is an unusual occurrence in Mango and the seeds germinate while still attached to the tree.
The fruit look normal on the outside and only when cut reveal the issue.
The fruit cannot be marketed but are generally edible but may have taste problems.
The only information I found on management of this issue is to improve growing conditions and manage environmental problems.
You may want to contact your local County Extension Office to see if any other growers are having this growing issue.

Ever since the few consecutive days of raining in San Jose California, the leaves on my mango tree are turning brown, drying out, and now are wilting. It was very healthy before and grew many leaves. I also notice that the stem near the top is a bit wrinkly. Is it too much water? Is it too cold? Not enough sunlight? I've brought it in the house now, which is around 70 degrees. Please help.
A Mango Tree can generally survive some heavy rain without issue if the soil is well draining.
If the roots are sitting in wet soil, this could certainly stress or kill the tree.
Also a Mango Tree should not be exposed to temperatures below 40 degrees F. If the tree was wet from rainfall and the temps were cold, this could be a deadly combination. A dry tree will have better chances in cold weather then a wet tree.
You will need to wait and see. You can prune away any dead material and hope the tree will recover.

I want to know the standard amount of fertilizer to apply on mango and pineapple plantations in order to meet the EU export standard.
Here are some links that will help you with fertilizing information.
We would suggest you contact your government offices to receive information on export laws on commodities.
