Hi there!
I have this mango tree in my property. I guess the old owners didn't do the proper pruning and the tree grew skinny and tall, instead of more bushy and short. Now it's too tall for me to reach the fruits and I guess I will have a mess when the fruit season comes.
Can I still fix this tree? I marked on the picture below where I think I
should cut, but I'm afraid to be too extreme and have an ugly monster instead of a still beautiful, although potentially messing, tree in front of my house.
Most of the branches are long. I'm considering cutting them in half or leaving 1/3 to make them open in several new ones. Does it make sense?
What do you guys suggest?
Thank you so much!
