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.

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!
