Male mango plant?
Question:Can a male mango plant bear fruit. I don't know what's the sex of mine, but it's been five years now, triple my height, and still no fruits, not even flowers. Friend told me it may be a male, that's why.
Answers:
Water your little mango plant as it grows, preferably with rain water. To make it grow strong, feed it with liquid tomato-plant feeder during the summer months. When it gets too big for its pot, re-plant into a larger pot. Keep doing this as the plant gets bigger and bigger. In the spring, after the first year, pinch out the top bud (using your fingers). This will stop your plant growing lanky and helps to keep it shapely and bushy. You can keep pinching out any top buds if you think it needs it.
