Hi All,
Can any one suggest low height mango trees for intercropping coconut trees? Right now I have Baganappilly and few local varieties along with coconut trees and they are growing big and shading out coconut and entire area.
Can I prune big mango trees and still achieve reasonable yield?
Regards,
Nandan
What is the height you are looking at? Normally a mango tree can be maintained to reach a height of 8 to 12 ft buy pruning top branches.
Can I prune big mango trees and still achieve reasonable yield?
Yes, big mango trees can be pruned and I heard that this activity gives very good yeild in the coming years.
Thanks…
8 ft to 12 ft should be enough since with this height it won’t interfere with my coconut trees…I came across the UHDP (Ultra High Density Planting) of mangoes in which they maintain a height of 6ft-7ft and plants more than 1000 trees per acre?. Jain irrigation has one such farm in Pollachi, have to visit them to get more details.
