Mango Tree is Flowering

At first I thought I should write Mango Tree is Fruiting but then I realised I have not seen the fruit yet so better not. After a few weeks since the flushing of leaves, it finally produces something not leafy. A closed monitoring suggests that this time it mustn't the leaf again by judging the shape of the sprouts. They were about 4 inches long yesterday (3 days after I first spotted them) and they certainly not the leaf. I learnt that it is called panicle. It is the 3rd stage in mango fruiting cycle. The first stage is the flushing where many new leaves suddenly pop up. The 2nd stage is when you see nothing is happening; the tree is in a rest mode. It is also called dormancy period. It is thought that the leaves are harvesting the sunlight to their maximum during this period and so the carbohydrate level is on its maximum after this period. This is the preparative step for the next stage: flowering and fruiting. The number and the size of the fruit my mango tree is producing depend largely on how well it stores the energy during the dormancy period. I should b e able to answer this question later.
