Default Pruning Mangos

g'day geoff,

nows about the time to prune, the main objective with pruning mango's
is to open up the center of the tree to promote higher production of
fruit. usually mango's get strong pretty quick so not sure about in
your case but maybe the first years fruit should have been pulled off
to allow the plant more time to develop? also might need to look to
its growing situation is it getting all day sun and good drainage
etc.,.?

at 1.8 meters i would expect that it should have strengthened up by
now.
