Fruting Mango Tree must be moved! Which side of house?

14 years ago

My fruiting mango tree is four feet tall and doing great. We are installing a pool and the tree must be moved! I have found conflicting advice on where to move the tree. Would you recommend the south or north side? Also, I know not to plant under telephone lines as the tree will get very tall, but are there any other areas that I should not plant near? Thanks!!!

Smack, can't believe no one has responded yet to you. --Guess we are really in the doldrums of summer. Put it on the south side of the house. Mangos are very tropical and the south side will protect them in the event of a cold snap. They can take the heat.
