I planted hybrid mango tree a year before. Now the tree has grown 4 feet and the branches are falling in the ground. Did I have to cut the branches? The bark is not very thick. Please let me know what to do.
Here is a link that explains pruning of a Mango Tree.

I have a mango tree that will be completing its second year of growth this August/September. It is slightly over 5 ft tall and straight with no branches. It does, however, have all of the leaves it has produced since emerging from the seed. My 2 questions are these: how do I force it to produce branches, and when should that be done? My present thoughts are that I need to cut the top of the newly forming main shoot just shortly after the new reddish leaves turn green. I would really appreciate your help here. Thanks, Gary
Pruning for shape and production begins when the tree is 4 years old.
Here is an article with more information.

We live in Gooseberry Hill. We have been given an unnamed mango tree. Due to the many trees, there is very little full sunlight. Should we 'have a go' or re-gift?
A Mango Tree does need a full sun location, so if it does not fit in your landscape it would be best to regift to another gardener.

About two months ago I planted a mango seed. It was doing very well and had no issues until the past week or two. The leaves began to have wilted spots on them and fall off. It has lost most of the new foliage now, and the older leaves are starting to develop spots as well. At first I was afraid the plant was getting root bound, as it was growing quite large. It did well with the transplant, but the leaf problem has not changed at all. I later noticed tiny white eggs on the underside of the leaves and wiped all of them off with a damp paper towel. All of them are gone, but now the bottom side of the leaves are weeping. I also noticed some small flying bugs crawling around in the soil. I am not sure if the bugs are the problem though, since the small flying bugs have been around for a while and the leaves are still developing more wilted or dark spots. I don't know exactly what the problem is or how to fix it. IMG3810 shows the underside of the leaf IMG 309 shows the wilting bits of the leaf
It would seem your plant is infested with White Fly.
You can treat the plant with Neem Oil, this works as both an insecticide and fungicide. It is safe for people and pets.
Here are some links to help you.

Why would grafted mango seedlings dry off a few days after uncovering them?
The graft did not take and the plants perished.
