Whilst my son calls his kittens Longy and Shorty, solely based on the length of the kittens' tail, I thought I might as well call my mango tree "Mangoey"!
It is the 2nd time (3rd to be exact, the first time was bought with fruits but all fell prematurely) fruiting. The last one was in Dec 2010. 7 months ago!
I noticed the flowers a couple of days before my Sabah trip (6-10 June 2011) but was amazed how heavy the bloom was this time when I saw them just a few days later. According to past experience I should expect some juicy mangoes by early August if everything goes well. I intend to buy/make some fruit protector (mesh/cloth) this time to protect the mangoes from insects expecially the fruit flies.
I have a mission to produce perfectly rippened on tree mangoes this round as I read somewhere sometimes ago that fully rippened on tree mangoes produce the maximum taste. My month is watering even just thinking of it....yum yum!
