Keitt Mango bearing fruit

10 years ago
last modified: 10 years ago

I have this newly planted Carrie and Keitt Mango trees. I planted the tree August last year and it is doing great. Now as it only been in the ground for 7 months I am wondering if it will hold the fruit it has or not.

Thank you for replying.

    Only the tree itself knows for sure if it will or wont.

    The first picture of the mango looks good. The mango is growing near the stalk. The others will have a harder time talking up water and nutrients from the tiny stems.

    The one with three mangos on it. The top one will get the most nutrients and become the bigger one as they grow. It will drop the lower ones if it can't support all the fruit.

    If the lower one is growing on the stalk, then it will drop the top ones if it can't support all the fruit.

    When they get pass pea size, then they have a good chance of surviving.

    Awesome, I am glad to hear that will have any of them survive to maturity. Thanks Tony !

    Very happy you posted this. Our Manila Mango was planted 3 years ago and this year it's blooming. I see tons of baby fruits popping out. This is only one of several blossoms, but it's giving me hope that maybe each blossom will bear at least one fruit.

    The good thing about my mango tree that I put it in ground after I purchase it and that was back in August 2015 and It is generous enough to fruit for me on the 1st season. So here is an update of the growing mango fruit. I see that some of the little mango dropped however I have several surviving and I hope they survive to maturity.

    From my own personal experience and what I've read from the mango experts its best not to let it hold fruit when the tree is that young/newly planted...best to let it grow at least one more season before letting it fruit. I did let my small/young tree fruit once and it took about a year and half to recover and started flushing. I lost about 4 to 6 growth flushes in that time and was very disappointed in myself for wasting all that time. I know its hard not to taste your own fruit. If I had to do over again...I would just buy a mango to eat and let my tree grow :o)...my 2 cents,lol...

    Here is a 1 month update. Pugluver, thank you for the advise which I completely agree with you. However I left all 35 fruits and wanted to see which one will be able to set to mature and now I only have 10 fruit which is okay for a tree of this size.

  • 10 years ago

    yes its surprising we get any fruit at all..especially with them odds

    It has been windy like crazy here. I am down to 5 mangos and 15 lychees left on 5 trees.

    I'm SO sorry Tony, its very, very frustrating I know!!! We spend so much time caring for our trees and we look forward to this only once a year, wish Mother Nature and the Critters would cooperate **sigh**...Good luck!!

    I started with 20 something (little bit bigger than a pea). Some went yellow and rotted on the tree. Some just dropped. Now I am only down to 3 palm size mangoes. First time fruiting though (3rd year tree).

    Seagel, that isn't bad at all for a 3 year old tree...Enjoy!

    I was in Fruit Paradise down in Homestead this weekend. Fruit and Spice Park (owned by the Miami-Dade County)

    Hello guys,


    After the mango season is over I thought it would be nice to update you that the mango was of a great taste, no fiber and so DELICIOUS. If I have to choose again I would choose Keitt mango and most important it survived Hurrican Matthew recently.


    I just noticed that I have an issue with my mango tree after all fruit has fall from the tree. The tree still growing which is great to see put 60 % of the old leaves have something covering them in black I am attaching picture as well.


    I would appreciate if someone can give me an idea what I need to do to save my tree please.



    Please help me to save my tree.


    By the way, I have another tree about 8-10 feet away from this one which is a Carrie mango tree that is so healthy and growing in a much better shape.

    Black stuff is sooty mold. Picture #1 shows you have scale (brown-ish, flat disc shaped) and sooty mold.

    Alien looking creature in picture #5 is a lady bug nymph (beneficial) .

    With a little tree like that..you can just wash off the soot and most of the scale too with a stiff spray of hose water. The rest you can scrape off with a dish sponge cloth.

    Toss some fertilizer under it when done.

    Thank you for replying back to my query. I washed all leaves and branches one by one but will do some of them again as it was not 100 % cleaned.

    I will update more photos once the next season starts and tree is covered in flowers :)


    Cheers,

    my Keitt mango tree did not fruit this year as I treated the tree couple of times with neem oil extract to treat the mold situation.


    However my other tree ( Carrie Mango ) is truly is doing great and I wanted to share couple of pics.


    I also have Sugar Cane planted and Tangerine tree and I will update more pics later on.

    Beutiful Mango and very Healthy :)

    My goodness. Your Carrie started off early. I'm still waiting on my pea sized fruit to finish setting.


    Do you have more pictures of your Carrie? How old is it?

  • 9 years ago

    Hello seagel ! am sorry for my late reply. here are some more pictures of my carrie mango tree. This tree had 1 mango tree last year but this year so far I have 16 mangos and new flowers setting more mangos.

    Our mango trees are really big. Its mango-apple variety and the fruits of it are really sweet even if its not ripe. In your case, I think you need to wait for how many months and monitor your tree. Maybe you try to spray some fertilizers (the organic ones) because it will help your tree to bear more fruits.

    South Florida is like another world compared to the bay area. Mine are just showing budding panicles. I get one crop a year- around September-October. How about Florida? Do tree's ever have multiple bearings?

  • 9 years ago

    Normally one crop a year..but there are some varieties which I heard have 2 crops a year..can't think of there names off hand..Here in Orlando Fl the fruit is usually ready Sept - October as well..

  • 9 years ago

    A lot of varieties will give fruit starting end of June going into July. Orlando is usually behind a month or so compared to Southern FL areas (Below Lake Okechobee)
