Soil Preparation: Prepare the soil by digging a hole slightly larger than the root ball. Mix in well-rotted organic matter like compost or manure to improve drainage and fertility.

Fertilize the mango tree regularly during the growing season. Use a balanced fertilizer specifically formulated for fruit trees. Follow the recommended dosage and frequency on the fertilizer label.
