Just remove the buds or flowers by pinching and twisting. With a few minutes work a day at the beginning of the season, you can remove the flowers or fruit buds from the side of the tree that overhangs past the fence, and locations that are easy to get to from the fence. The extension will also limit visibility, and make rock-throwing less successful. Because it's not heavy duty, climbing over it would be an act of destruction, and will discourage many people from attempting. Lightweight and inexpensive, it should be easy to install.
Extend the fence upĪdding another 2-3 feet of lattice, wire, or bamboo fencing on top of your existing wall may be permissible (check your local building codes). Plant another treeĪnother tactic is to plant another mango tree, thus producing twice as much fruit as you have now, allowing you to freely give the fruit away without worrying too much about whether permission was obtained.
By making the tree less visible, and requiring people to completely climb over the fence you'll discourage most random casual theft.įurther, the tree should fruit more productively over time if it is well-pruned, and should you lose additional fruit to theft, it won't impact you as significantly. Make sure that all the branches are well inside the wall, and lower to the ground. Immediately after harvest this year, prune the tree away from the wall.
