Prune Time

Finally I plugged all the mangoes from mangoey. Right after harvesting the last fruit, I gave it a prune. The height reduced about 1 foot and the diameter should be around half a foot smaller after the pruning exercise.

Not just Mangoey had a trim, my ciku too! and more vigorous! The little mango in a pot also had the same fate. I am waiting to harvest the longan before pruning the longan tree.

In total, we obtained about 6 kilograms of mango this year, 50 % more than last year! In terms of the number of fruit, it is many times more than last year but because of heavy fruiting, the fruits were smaller.
