Our mango trees have started flowering.

It is a bit early this year but our mango trees have started flowering as can be seen from the picture above. This must be the effect of cool temperature, about 16 degrees centigrade, we had for a few days last week. Cool temperature is needed for the mangoes and cashews to flower. Rains or fogs are bad for the production of these fruits. May be the weather has changed a bit this year due to lockdown we had earlier this year. Good effect of coronavirus pandemic. Do you have mango or cashew trees in your area?

Cashews are speciality of Goa and some parts of Maharashtra and Karnataka. Cashew crop is brought to India by Portuguese from Africa.

The trees look so lush. I hope you get many mangoes and cashews from them. Those trees don't grow in our climate, unfortunately.

Many years ago, we had a mango tree bearing much fruit but I eventually had it cut down because the acidity from its leaves and flowers was corroding the G.I. roofing sheets of our house.

It is not good to have a mango tree over your roof. It creates some damage to thatched roofs but G.I. sheet roofing is outdated all over as it gets corroded even otherwise.

@sunrisefan Your roofing sheets appear to be good. Here we use long span anti corrosive steel sheets.

@msdivkar The leaves of the mango tree were not even over our roof. They were just from a distance but still the acid corroded our roofing sheets thus, when my wife and I availed of early retirement, we had our house renovated and our roof replaced with the long span no-joint colored roof sheets specially ordered from the factory.

Having a mango tree in small residential housing plot is inconvenient. It requires a big open space to develop freely.

It depends on the weather of the place. Usually mango flowering time is 100 to 150 days. That's 3 months to 5 months.

You are right. It takes nearly four months from flowering to ripe mangoes. This time differs with the type.

Nice to know that. Mango trees normally does not require watering. They absorb moisture from the soil with their deep roots but they could be problem where there is scarcity of water.

There are very different types of mangoes in India. Famous are Hapus from Konkan region of Maharashtra and Mankurad from Goa. There are some very good varieties from North India, I am not that familiar.
