Step-by-Step Mango Transplanting Guide
-
Digging the New Hole:
- Dig a hole twice as wide and just as deep as the mango tree root ball, according to the provided reference. This spacious hole allows for easier root expansion and establishment.
- If the soil is compacted, loosen it at the bottom and sides of the hole to facilitate root growth.
-
Removing the Mango Tree:
Carefully dig around the existing mango tree, being very gentle not to damage the roots. -
Positioning and Backfilling:
- Carefully position the mango tree in the center of the prepared hole.
-
Watering and Care:
- Water the tree deeply to help settle the soil and establish root contact.
- Provide ongoing care, including regular watering and fertilization, as needed.
