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.

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:
