What is the recommended distance of planting?
The usual recommended distance of planting for mango trees ranges from 10 to 14 meters and therefore, using this recommendation, you would need a maximum of 100 trees to a hectare. Please give us information on high density planting of mango orchards! High density planting has not yet been thoroughly studied for ‘Carabao’ mango in the Philippines. It could have the potential of generating more income during the early productive period of the orchard, but then overcrowding of canopies could become a serious problem very soon since ‘Carabao’ mango is a fast growing variety. Corporate farms who have tried high density planting, have not been successful with the system.
