Patience Grasshopper. You need to give tgese trees at leadt 5 years. If this is your thinking, you better get that axe out andbuy a bunch of pine trees.

If it's a mango you really want, I'd persist with it a little longer. You can force them to flower with potassium nitrate as a foliar spray, but since you said flowering isn't the issue I'm not sure if this will help. I'd still give this a shot irregardless--like the song says, strange things happen everyday....
Will you be making a cocktail mango tree or totally kill it if it does not perform?
Does anyone have a picture of a productive Pina Colada mango tree? A picture of a productive Pina Colada mango tree would really help.

Hey Sleepdoc just keep the tree healthy . Remove the weeds around the tree , fertilize , foliar and water correctly like you do your other trees.Try not to pay too much attention to its growth / bearing habits . Focus on something else ... that's when she'll start performing !Good luck. Probably no one else has a mature tree that bears fruit consistently .... too new a cultivar maybe?Be grateful with what you have 20 -25 trees . That's amazing , some people would give anything to have 1 or 2 productive mango trees in there yard. It's all perspective. Give thanks man and forget about that one tree like i said before !Mike

My little PC tree only bore 2 this year, but they were incredibly delicious.
I think zands posted that as a joke :-).I think starling is dead on with the 5 year rule of thumb. Give her 5 years. The juvenile period of some trees can be quite long. The first thing that the novice fruit tree lubber learns is the virtue in patience. Comes in handy for other areas of life (investing, relationships, etc).:-)
