Pruning Our Mango Trees The Filipino Way | Retiring In The Philippines | Farm Life

Our farm has many large mango trees, but we haven't yet had a good crop from it. The previous owner abused the trees with three crops a year using conventional chemicals. After we learned about permaculture, our aim now is to use only organic methods. We already use the permaculture techniques of swales to capture the rain water, using animal manures, grass and leaves for fertiliser. Finally, after we decided to stay at the farm for good, one of our goals is to get a good crop from mangoes as they are high value. In order to achieve that, the trees need to be pruned to let the them breathe and allow sunlight to enter into the centre of the tree. I was amazed how the filipinos prune the trees, barefoot and with no safety gear. Check out the video to find out!
