Your mango fruits are developing very well!

I can't believe how nice the mango tree and fruit are doing here with such cool weather of May.

The mango tree around the corner I took a photo. It didn't come out well, though. The tree is leaning even more now. The 10' tree probably has at least two hundred fruit on it. I can't believe the owners didn't thin the fruit.

The big mango tree I pass on the way to work is in full flower again like it was back in February. Typically, mango trees don't have such a heavy bloom twice in one year. Very strange!

Thanks Andy. I'm just going to let it thin itself. I counted 18 bloom spikes on the little tree. Considering it has smaller fruit then the typical store Haden's,I hope for at least 2 fruit per spike? Even one per spike would be good.
I posted a photo of the Fremont Mango. I think..it must have about 80-100 bloom spikes on it. I also noticed that my plant has a few winter singed leaves...that one in Fremont had none. I just wish they would cut down the Liquidamber,its just competition for roots and light.

Yes, the Fremont mango looks like it has many dozens of flower spikes. It's become quite a large tree. I can only imagine how large it will become by the end of this summer.

My compost has helped green mine up. Plus we are in for a week of about 80f.
The Champagne Mango is taking off .. a little.
The Hass avocado I put in got so lanky so fast,I cut it back already. I dont want a huge tree. I want 12-15' tall and and 10' wide as largest. More then enough Avocados for me to eat. That leaves light for the rest of that small yard too.
