Christianabs1 starts with ... Hi mango growers, I need some advice on how I can safely transplant a 2m mango tree. I’m moving house in about a months time and I really want to take my much loved mango tree. I have grafted numerous varieties on it and can’t bear to leave it behind. Has anyone successfully moved a mango tree?

Potty Bob 1 says... I am in the process of moving a grapefruit tree ( going to give it to my sister as a grafting tree .) . I am slowly digging it out . Cutting the root ball 1/2 at a time . What I did was cut/dig half of the root ball about 3 weeks ago ,allowing the tree to still have roots to feed it while the cut roots replenish/revive . Then I cut/dug the other half , not lifting the tree for another week , again to help the roots heal and resprout. During the processi fed the tree plenty of Seasol. The tree was about 9 years old and maintained as an espalier and about 7 ft tall . . The ball was cut at about 80 cm from the trunk and as deep as I could go . When I remove the tree I will hose off the dirt , wrap the roots in wet heshen soaked with a little Seasol, I then use 2 giant bags (bales) to completely enclose the tree and on my roof racks delivere it to Brisbane. Mango may have a tap root , so dig deep and carful . | About the Author Potty Bob 1 POTTSVILLE,2489,NSW 19th March 2019 3:17pm #UserID: 19705 Posts: 59 View All Potty Bob 1's Edible Fruit Trees |
