PLANT YOUR OWN
HATCHER MANGO TREE |
|
Congratulations! You
have just chosen the VERY BEST! |
|
|
Choose a sunny location for
planting. There should be at least a 15 foot diameter minimum space
for tree so it has room to grow. Do not mix any potting soil,
manure, fertilizer or anything with the soil when you plant.
Take the tree
out of the container by laying it on its side and slipping the container
off. Bury the root ball so the soil level is the same as it was in
the container. Leave a mound around the tree to form a basin, then
fill with water, washing soil into any empty pockets around the root ball.
Now is the
time to fertilize. Be extra careful because mango trees are very
susceptible to burning with excessive fertilizing. Recommended
fertilizer: 12-5-9 (or similar), with manganese, iron and zinc.
SCATTER one level tablespoon per foot of tree height. |
|
WATERING
Do not count on sprinkler systems to do your watering!
For the first month, water every day and soak thoroughly at least twice
a week.
Second and third month, water at least twice a week.
Fourth through twelfth month, water weekly ESPECIALLY during dry spells.

|
FERTILIZING
First two or three years, once a month, SCATTER one level tablespoon
of 12-5-9 fertilizer per foot of tree height, EXCEPT in December and
January.
For
fruiting trees, switch to a 4-4-8 fertilizer that also include trace
elements.
We use organic fertilizer here at Hatcher Mango Hill. Apply only
once a year, right AFTER the
fruit is off the tree. SCATTER 1/4 cup of fertilizer per foot of
tree height.
A Hatcher
mango tree is very fast growing and produces large, delicious mangoes
that ripen in July and August! Trees are for sale during mango
season at Hatcher Mango Hill (available for local pickup only -- we
cannot ship trees.) Enjoy!!!
