Default Mango

g'day miki,

no expert here so you still may want to consult a book on pruning the
local library will no doubt have something to guide you.

but this is all i have ever done:

prune after the new growth in about march.

prune to bring the height down and open up the middle of the tree.

pruning the other branches is then only as a tidy up and to open them
up a little.

after you prune there will be a lot of new growth snap off those that
are growing inwards or that will increase the canopy too much.

hope this helps a bit
