Mango tree blooming at the end of August
« on: August 29, 2017, 06:37:46 PM »
This is the first time that one of my mango trees (Rapoza variety) is blooming at the end of August  :o
Has anyone here experienced this before? When is this tree planning to bear fruits?

In order to help you estimate this we need to know where you are
Located.

Congrats!! If the tree is mature my best guess would be appx. 5-6 months from now...maybe February? But there are many factors that could influence that...weather specifically, but you are in Zone 10b so that might not be an issue. Either way please keep us posted.

Thanks puglvr1!

I believe the tree is now mature enough ( a little bit over two years - around 7 feet tall .)

The same tree bloomed December last year and then re-bloomed March this year. I removed all the fruits cuz I just wanted the tree to get stronger. It's so weird that it is blooming again in August. Oh Well, let's see what happens - I'll come back to this thread later for an update.

Rapoza is known as a persistent bloomer, pushing new flowers until fruit sets.

Well, the future came and with it came Irma and the little fruits got blown away   :-\  - the tree is still standing though  :)

Happy for you the tree survived Irma!! I only had one mango tree that is leaning to the right, I have removed several of the thick/heavy branches off that side in hopes it will not "fall" over. Its my favorite mango tree in my yard. The rest shows NO issues, the Lychee tree fared very well and is now flushing in some branches.

Considering we had many hours of close to 120 mph wind gusts here in Sebring, Irma came straight at us!!!
Lost a TON of Live and Florida Oaks...8-9 homes have tons and tons of storm debris from fallen trees in my town  :'(...No clue when they will start picking up the storm debris...maybe by Thanksgiving?

And I thought I was the only one to have a mango tree blooming at this time of the year. I was going around my yard after the storm when I saw blooms on my Choc-anon. In fact, there are a few little fruits on it as well. I topworked  a Glenn with Chocanon two years ago, but this is the first time flowering for it.

I had my Maha Chanok do the same thing two years ago, when it bloomed sparsely and set one fruit that ripened in December. It flowered at the same time last year as well, but I cut the  flowers. That led to it flowering heavily during the mango season this year. I got close to 80 mangoes this year.

I was at a nursery today and saw a few mangos flowering. If I was to guess I'd say it is due to survival instinct caused by Irma and not a normal bloom. I wouldn't let one try to fruit this time a year.
