Its still chugging along. Fruit will ripen around September. They in one week or so go from green to tan.

Its really at its limit Penny. I was hoping it would show more growth by now. I also think-- still not sure- if its an every other year bloomer. One year grow,one year deliver Mangoes.
Its already July. I hope I get at least one big flush this year.
Our record rainy winter..really made these types of plants wonder if they want to grow here...ha!

If you had told me,I would have a 8'+ Mango tree that bore fruit 15 years ago? I would thought that was like heaven.
Now that I do have one?..reality of it must have to be pretty big to bare fruit like most temperate fruit tree's do in our climate. The other reality is...At my age,I think I have at best another 15 years-lol. So,I guess even if everything goes perfect for the tree,it will never be "more then I can eat".
It will be just as its been..lots of fun and interest.

So your all ready in heaven then lol with your Mango tree being a reality.
You can never say 15 years as if you lead a good life people are living a lot longer now Stan so you could still be picking your fruit for many years to come its the poor people who are dying very young now a days.

A nice lady on one garden board described my plants as "Fun plants". I think that's it. They tend to have bang for the buck ( money) as we say in America. If it wasnt for a screen of Euonymous hedges,I would be lots of one of this and that-lol.

How sweet of her to say your plants are fun plants I hope she meant that with good intentions.
I plant I dont like are hedges who wants to cut hedges more work and at that never flower . I have dug and pulled up loads of hedges in the 30 different places I ve lived the only thing they are good for is dulling traffic noise and protecting homes from traffic polution.
