I have a large Mango tree that was uprooted from Erma. It's trunk is 16" in diameter. It's been on it's side for two weeks with exposed roots. I had the top cut back in hopes that I can upright it with a few men but it still is too heavy and I can't get a back hoe to it without damaging my and my neighbors lawn. Is it salvageable if I cut it back more? Please see photos.
It doesn't appear that the photos uploaded correctly. Mango can typically recover from some instances like this, however, there is a great chance this tree will die. Cutting it back more will stunt its fruit production, potentially, for a few years.

If the leaves start getting brown on the tips and edges first, it may be a lack of water, or an inability of the roots to take up enough water, as described here:

If the tree is in a too-small container, that could also contribute to a lack of enough water. Or, it could be over-fertilized. Exposure to toxins in the soil such as excessive salt, or drifting herbicides/pesticides from another garden, can also cause crispy brown leaves.

I have a three year old Kensington tree in a pot from seed. The tree is healthy & full of flowers. My question is, why are healthy leaves falling & others curling & drying on the tree?
I am not sure what would cause this- has there been any change in the tree's environment recently? If not, it could be a watering problem or a disease problem. Check the leaves for any signs of insects or insect damage, or spots or discoloration that could indicate disease. See the "pests and diseases" section of this article:

If the tips are turning brown or dry first, see this article:

I have 3 mango trees that were grown together in a pot and transplanted to the yard about 3 years ago. They are healthy and are about 12 feet tall, two of the trunks are about 3 inches across and the third about half of that. My question is: Should I leave them alone and let them grow or eliminate one or two of the trunks?
Your trees that are so close together will compete for light, water and nutrients.
You will want to move or eliminate 2 of the trees.
In Florida they recommend that a Mango tree be planted 25 to 30 feet from any structure.

I never have mangos. What is the best fertilizer just for mangos only?
It is important to keep in mind that if this is a mango from seed, then it can be up to six years before it bears its first fruit. If this is not the case, then there could be other issues, including fertilization. It isn't necessary to find a fertilizer made just for mangoes, but I'm sure they exist.
