Sydney NSW AustraliaQ.Honey mango
I have 3 little Honey Gold mangos that grow out of a single seed in a single small pots. These have large green leaves and look beautiful and very strong. All little plants about 15cm. Q1. How do I transfer them to large pots; in other words, how do I separate them? Q2. I want to transfer them to larger pots because they stop growing higher but the leaves keep generating, and looks like a small bush in the pot. Q3. I also have Keith and Calypso seedling trees in small pots (10cm diameter). All mango trees stopped growing taller but keep growing more leaves, with very strong green trunk and hard too. Please, can I have some advice? Many thanks

I have many questions. I'm trying to grow tropical plants in Michigan and I started 2 years ago. One plant I have is a mango and it seems to have stopped growing its pot (8 inches tall and 10 inches wide). Is there anything else I need to do to help it grow?

Carlsbad caQ.How do I care for my Mango Trees?
They have lots of buds on each branch. Will they grow into fruit? Do I need to thin the buds on my mango tree to get larger fruit? This is the first time I have ever had a Mango tree and do not know how to care for it. I have fertilized. The new growth looks terrific. What do I do next?

06460Q.Mango tree wilting
I have a potted Glenn mango tree, about 1.5 years old. It recently flowered for the first time and everything looked great. Then, about a week ago, half the tree began to wilt and the flowers and leaves started drooping. The other half still looks healthy.

May 15, 2016A.How old is your Mango Tree? Mango Trees do not began to bear fruit until they are 3 to 5 years of age.
If your tree does not get the right amount of water, it will drop fruit.If the temperatures are not warm enough the plant will abort fruit.
Lack of pollination can also be an issue.
A tree will naturally drop fruit to thin the load on the tree.

May 28, 2016Q.Injured mango tree
I am from India. I am writing this message to get a help from you regarding my injured mango tree. Photos - https://goo.gl/photos/7qabLbE6mxNfBUj36 (Also photos attached with this mail as well.) This is a small mango tree about 6-7 years old which was in the land I recently bought. It's been broken before and now when I checked after few months, I can see this Mango tree has good healthy growth. So I am thinking whether I can save this tree. But I saw the injuries are very serious and I'm still not sure I can save this or not. Can you help me to get some ideas? Thanks and regards Amjith

May 31, 2016A.In this case I would recommend an application of a fungicide to help keep infections from the wound.
You should also watch for pests and treat with Neem Oil if needed.https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/trees/tgen/repairing-tree-bark-damage.htm
