One of my favorite fruit will be here in the near future! mangos really got their bloom going on in South Florida.

I guess living near Fairchild also means going to their annual mango festival. I'd love to be there for the festival but since I live over 2700 miles away I have to pass on the festival. But, I do love a good mango cheesecake.

One of my two mango trees is also in bloom. The two are the same age (planted in 1991) but differ in every aspect - colour of bark, leaf shape, fruit quality, robustness, etc.

compare with the other one on the left, which almost never blooms at the same time.

My mango is taking this year off. It was getting too big so I topped it.

Kumar - I have a variety called Keitt that is a late season cultivar (Aug & Sept).

The one blooming now in the first post (early season) will be late May thru June. It's always completely done before July 4.

My Valencia Pride is flowering like crazy right now. Unfortunately it's just too small to let it bare fruit yet

My two trees aren't doing anything yet, but a neighbor's bigger one is going full blast. Blue Bell's mango-flavored ice cream has shown up at the supermarket.

My Carrie is blooming like bloomer !!!!!!!!!!

I have had her in the ground for about 3-4 years and I think this year will be the year where I will enjoy some fruit.

Carries and dwarfish trees that DO NOT produce a lot of fruit, but the quality is excellent.

Like pure ice cream and zero fibers......

Mango season is just starting here in Guatemala.My favorite is Atulfo,it is very similar to Nom Doc Moi variety.The export mango varieties like Tomy are far less tasty IMO.I also love Carrie mangos.We do not have that variety here.

Our season will be coming to a close soon

The flowering of the mango trees in South Florida is really intense. I do not recall seeing it be this floriferous in the past. Many trees are starting to profoundly flush new leaves, generating the carbohydrates.

We may be in for a bumper crop this year!

I love this time in the tropics; the mangos and the cashews are all in bloom and you see the locals with their fruit stands on the street selling the recent harvests. I have three mango trees but only one of them is old enough to produce any fruit which it did two years ago. This first year I got six mangoes, last year I had about fifty. The year should be great and I can't wait for the bounty to fall. A friend of mine, who grows quite a few, told me to prune them and keep them at a manageable 20-25 feet (7 or 8 meters). Peter
