Mango Trees Blooming Early in Florida? What’s Really Going On (Spray or Not?)

Many mango growers in South Florida are seeing something unusual this season — some mango trees are loaded with blooms and fruit set, while others have nothing at all. Is it the weather? Variety? Pruning? Spraying? Or something else entirely?

In this video, I walk through my orchard and my neighbor’s trees to show real-world mango tree bloom differences across dozens of varieties including Sugarloaf, Lemon Zest, Coconut Cream, Sweet Tart, Pickering, Angie, Orange Sherbet, Pineapple Pleasure, CAC, and more.

We break down:
Why some mango trees bloom early
Cold-triggered vs drought-triggered mango varieties
Male vs female mango flowers and fruit set
Whether spraying copper or sulfur really matters
Sun exposure, pruning, watering, and timing mistakes
Why two identical trees can behave completely differently
Whether a second bloom is likely this year

If you grow mango trees in Florida, the Caribbean, or warm climates, this video will help you understand what’s happening right now and what to expect as mango season develops.
