Not sure how many other trees put on a blooming show like a well grown mango tree. They are in bloom all over South Florida and can be spotted a long distance away.

Nice pictures Ben.  How many fruits come out of those flowers?

Ben those looks nice, I've never seen one before. Thanks for posting.

Ah. Visions of home...and reminders of my youth. I can't wait.

Here are a few images from last summer. I get South Florida at least twice every summer just to pick mangoes from my favorite trees. The ones that fall are usually left alone because they bruise when the hit the ground and rot from within. The rest are picked and eaten ASAP. What isn't eaten is frozen for the best sorbet and green smoothies money cannot buy.

Terowan,  there are many thousands of flowers as each cluster has a few hundreds, there is just no way all those flowers can become fruits. The fruits will weight 1.5 to 2 lbs each and the weight would easily break all the branches. The bees have to pollinate first and then from those, the tree will drop many of the small fruits and hang on to as many as it can handle. 

Start a pool...a very generous prize for the winner!

I'm gonna guess each tree will hang over a hundred (not that I know anything about mangos), but those are some beautiful trees man...my guess is 230.

Love Mangoes. Grew up with them. We had some big trees and we set up a net, shake the tree branches with ropes to get the ripe or about ripe mangoes to fall.

Great pictures, I say 276.

And the winner winner chicken dinner is...... Ed.... within 10.

My Nam Doc Mai put out about 225 and the Carrie about 45.

The carrie is shaded by Nam Doc Mai and has no room to spread it's wings as it were.

The wildlife attacks have been minimum  this spring and so far some of these mangoes have traveled to several cities up and down the East Coast.

Ed, pls PM me you address and I'll put the box in the mail next Tuesday

So them in Hawaii years ago and each tree holds hundreds if not thousands.
Beautiful tree for sure.

Too bad it won't make it here in the north.

I don't know how I missed this thread back in Feb!!!

ED - congratulations, mangoes are one of my favorites!  I can buy mangoes at the store reasonably priced and just about anywhere.  Figs I can not.

Nam Doc Mai rocks, Ben. Lots of flesh, little stone and little fiber. Yummmm!
Thanks again for introducing them to my taste buds.
My wife and I "fought" over the last one.

Beautiful trees, Ben! Sure wish I could grow them in Tucson, but the winters are too cold.

My family and I echo Frank's comments. When Ben's gift of mangoes were delivered (and very nice end to Father's Day 2012), my daughter began to jump up and down while yelling mangoes! Mangoes! MANGOES! Only two were ripe at the time and she ate them both. It makes a very good mango laasi.

Am I the only one who thinks mangos taste like carrots?

You may be the only one who thinks mangos taste like carrots,
Jackster and I may be  the only one who thinks that sometimes
if not exactly ripe, have a little bit of a whang like biting into
a bunch of pine needles, but ripe they are great.  A few years
back on a vacation trip to Egypt and cruising North down the
Nile river, both sides were full of mango trees and they were
loaded with more fruit than they looked like they could hold
and were as good as any mangoes I have eaten.  I ate a lot of
fresh figs there too but did not see one tree up close.

Wow, I am floored and honored to be the winner of such a beautiful thing.  As much as I love figs I may love mangoes even more.  I only guessed 276 because it was my old fire company and seemed possible.  Ben thanks for this thread and pm me for any fig varieties that you seek that I may have.

Too bad I missed this!  I'm sure I would have guessed 270  :)  (maybe not)  Congratulations!
