Our mango trees

The longevity of mango trees runs into hundreds of years but I have already lost one and the next is in line They are just about 30 plus years. While it is sad to see them go in a way I am somewhat relieved as harvesting has always been an issue which is expensive. Most of the yield I have distributed to neighbours and family after keeping some for us. Selling is not always successful Nature seems to have understood my predicament and is helping me.

Maybe something else will come in its place when the ones die off.

I used to love mangoes, and I would eat them often when they were in season.

I hope you can plan another fruit tree to take the place of the mango tree.

Too many fruits are often not a blessing, there is the problem to pick them up and then to donate as we cannot eat them all.

Maybe you can replace with another fruit bearing tree. How about santol or cotton fruit? or maybe guyabano.

I would be sad about losing such fruitful trees too, but like you said, it ends up being work and costly. I guess that is what they call a blessing in disguise? Those beautiful mangos - your trees gave many good years of service.

Truly a blessing in disguise. I have to be strong to think that this has worked in my favour I have memories to rely on.
