Poor Mango Tree (Mangifera indica)

That whole yard is seriously underwatered. The Aeoniums are near dormant.
The Mango has a nice trunk on it. That's got to be pushing a decade old.

Stan,

This yard is extremely dry. This tree is so loaded with fruit, which should have been thinned out. It causing a lot of stress on this tree. It's been in the ground for about 6 years. It would be bigger and nicer if it had been taken care of.

It's so funny the mango grove I see on the way to work had trees this size. Those trees were planted in spring of 2017 and are loaded with very nice fruit! When they were planted I think they were only 4 or 5' tall.

Then get picking and eating them lol if it should nt hold that many. I am sure people especially kids would scrum them here.
😊

It's too bad that this tree isn't getting enough water. I'm sure the mangoes would be excellent, if it was well watered.

What a shame.

Yes, it is. This tree would be a lot larger, also. It's very neglected.

You could knock on their door and say your from the spcp Society prevention cruelty to plants and your taking it into care lol

I know, right? lol!

Mine aborted some palm sized fruit...I think I over fertilized it. Lost them on 2 or 3 stems...so now have them on lower branches.
I guessed I pushed too hard ( the Seeds 1967!) on them!

Sorry to hear about that. Mango trees are very touchy about nitrogen fertilizers. I think that's what killed my Keitt mango tree, not being crowded out. I used to give it tons of chelated 16-16-16. I read mango trees hate chemical fertilizers. I guess, live and learn.

I know when mango trees have fruit they like quite a bit of water, though. They need the micro-nutrients.

This was the first time it dropped sizeable fruit...actually,the fruit themselves shrunk to nothing..but brown things not as I said ( out of habit) dropped. I think what looked like a record harvest might be like last year..8 or 9.
I do have the pea sized still going. Interesting that only the first blooms went bad.
I water it pretty good Andy..every other day when warm..less when the fog cools things down.
I also took the sprayer off the hose..I want as much water as I can put on my plants when I water by hand. Makes a difference.

It may have just been too much fruit for the tree to nourish. Hopefully, the second crop will ripen before it start to get too cool there!
