Control Size. Pruning early and often can keep a mango tree to a manageable 6 to 15 feet tall, instead of a towering 30 to 65 feet tall. The early spring or late in the winter, shortly after planting the mango tree, is the best time to prune for size control.If you want a smaller mango tree, you can cut the growth off above 2 to 3 feet from the ground.he framework for a mango tree is established early in the tree's growth. Making judicious pruning cuts during the first few years will promote the growth of lateral fruit-bearing branches on the tree. When a mango is newly planted, pruning begins with a cut above the point where you want the tree to branch.
