You will need 2-3 people to dig them out. Fewer if you want to try bare rooting them. HOA is going to destroy them anyway so if you want let me know

Another one? You must have planted on the easement or something. Bummer.

Hi
I have fruit and mango trees in front yard, side yard and backyard. The HOA wants me to remove a few to open things up, as in more lawn and green grass, and to keep them smaller. Seems to me they object to fruit trees because my development has some huge huge trees. An almost next door neighbor had a clump of really tall (50ft or so) and voluminous trees that dwarfed all my trees added together by at least 50%. These trees were a hurricane menace and would still be there except that someone bought that house and cut them down two years ago. With an arborist's bill of more than $5000. I got loads of wood chips from this cut down.
But these trees were not fruit trees.

zzzzzzzzzzzzz

Back yard is your territory/that's my take/so plant there first.. If nothing in your HOA covenant specifies fruit trees then just keep them nice and trimmed and don't let them grow wild.  Give away mangoes to get people to like your fruit trees.

IOW I would not not plant mango trees in front yard until you feel established. Or maybe just one and keep it small. My particular development, I don't see that many mango trees. Two miles down the road/also east of me/ I see developments with many mango trees.
So if no neighbors with fruit trees, proceed slowly. But I think it will work out just fine

Zands im keeping everything in my fenced back yard even installing pavers to make then look ornamental.
Thanks For the advise.

I still will never understand why some folks will prefer a giant Oak over a Fruit producing tree Survival food,  When the Crap hits tge fan those same folks are going to beg you for food! .. Cause oak does not taste to good 😄

HOAs wield a surprising amount of power. There's nothing that precludes them from prohibiting mango trees in the backyard. It all depends on the whims of your HOA board... They could easily prohibit you from planting edibles on any portion of "your" property.

Generally, the newer middle and upper-middle class neighborhoods seem to be the most finicky when it comes to planting edibles. For whatever reason, there is an inverse relationship between tolerance to fruit trees and income level. I think there is also an inverse relationship with age. So, the higher the income of the surrounding neighbors (or the older they are), the more likely they are to object to anything outside of status quo.

My HOA is little more liberal, and it helps that the median income in my area is in the lower-middle class range -- they are more busy worrying about how to pay the mortgage than counting how many square feet of st augustine can be viewed from the street. So folks here are generally receptive to residents utilizing their properties for more than simply cultivating seas of green grass. But if they ever started telling me to remove trees, I'd be listing the property for sale :-).

 Your front yard actually looks pretty good, so I would think that Your HOA is comprised of retires that lost their feeling of importance and also don't know what a mango is. I was fortunate enough to buy in a very established neighborhood with a voluntary HOA, there are bunches of 30-50 year old mango trees that look like they have never met a chainsaw. I do however get the occasional county worker out to confirm that not everyone like fishing boats.  Then we agree that life doesn't get much better than eating fresh fish and drinking margaritas.

Fresh fish is so hard to find.
Thanks for the front yard compliment! Alex at Tropical Acres/Palm Beach, along with Mr Sturrock, dug up and took the Coc mango that was in the center of it. So now the front yard looks lots more open and more of a lawn type front yard. Which the HOA likes.  I think I will be able to get Coc top grafted onto my other trees so not the worst thing in the world.

So this Coc tree lives on at>>> Visit to Sturrock (Mango) Groves! w/ Tropical Acres Farms (West Palm Beach) >>>>>>
