Planting & Care Planting: Mango trees will generally grow well in many soil types as long as there is good drainage. Find an area that receives full sun—at least 6 hours a day. Dig a hole at least twice the size of the root ball. After placing your Tebow Mango into the hole, backfill the hole and water to establish. Watering: The Tebow Mango requires moderate watering throughout the year (at least once a week) with more watering throughout the flowering and fruiting seasons and less during the winter. Careful not to overwater though as its prone to root rot. Fertilizer: DO NOT USE CHEMICAL FERTILIZER! Mangoes are easily burnt by fertilizers high in ammonium nitrate. The best fertilizer is a natural, organic one with mycorrhizal fungi and beneficial bacteria. A little gardening secret that Indians used to do that works wonders on mangoes, bury a fish touching the roots of your plant. The fish contains lots of nutrient crucial to a mango in its first years. Potted mangoes will benefit from a balanced fertilizer formula such as a 10-10-10 while actively growing. Cut back on feeding the tree nitrogen in flowering period, instead provide a boost of phosphorus and potassium. Weed Control: Weeds steal vital nutrients from the plants around them. The best way to keep weeds at bay and help your tree grow is with pine bark. Placing a one-inch thick layer three feet around the base of your tree will stop the weeds. Also another bonus is as the pine bark decomposes, it will raise the acidity of your soil naturally! Pruning: Be sure to cut back any dead branches or leaves during the winter to promote new growth during the spring. Pollination: The Tebow Mango is self-pollinating, so it only requires one tree to produce delicious mangoes. However, planting multiple mango trees will increase your harvests.
