My grandma used to have a huge mango tree that produced thousands of mango's per season, fully green un matured mangoes are the best with lime, salt and a little hot sauce.
I am definitely lucky. We lived for a long time in Tennessee, far from mangoes. they are my favorite fruit... and they're coming back into season again soon! Can't wait.
I just want to thank you SO much for your books! I believe I've bought ALL of them and I'm currently reading Push the Zone which I absolutely love like the rest! I can't appreciate it enough. I have a baby mango tree that I started from seed and it was doing amazing through hurricanes and frost and hopefully it makes it through the Blackfoot fungus (hoping I didn't catch it too late but looks like it's recovering). Before I stumbled upon Push the Zone I planted mangos in my front yard lol this is the only seedling that made it and I noticed I put it near 2 pine trees which I think is helping it. It's north facing. Now I have to tell my husband not to cut the trees in the front yard because it's keeping my mango alive. Thankfully I stumbled across you and didn't cut down all the trees to start my food forest and left a great canopy for protection. I'm still in the beginning stages of everything but I wanted to THANK YOU for all your information!!! I can't learn enough =)
Tropics? It's 20F and had to hose down all the peach trees that bloomed way too early, and you're walking in a lush, green forest with mangos all around you. Tough life you have. Lol we can't grow mangos here in ground, it's way too cold for them (zone 6). But I grow 60 some Fig trees in containers. And Store all the containers in basement during winters. Nice video.
i used to live in Ft Lauderdale, close to a The Tennis Club (IDK if its still there). We lived in a mango orchard with trees just like that, in the middle of the city. We totally lived off mangos for months! Delish! Enjoy!!
I've dried them before - it's amazing. Though I end up eating about 3 years worth of sugar all at once. Can't stop - they're really good. We really have so many mangoes, though, that I haven't bothered yet. There are still mangoes ripening all over our homestead. Something like 20 trees here.
David The Good Wow that's great.Mangoes need a dry period for flowering and fruiting.I have chopped my mango tree since the fruit gets attacked by anthracnose and its erratic flowering habit here in the equator.Btw what climate do you have at your place, monsoon tropical or tropical wet and dry?I suppose it is monsoon climate since you have featured a rambutan tree in your video.Rambutan does not fruit in tropical wet and dry climate since it needs water for the fruit to mature.Hence no rambutan in drier parts of thailand and indonesia.
David if you ever have time just come to see 200 years old mango tree, the tree I am talking about homes in Bangladesh. It's the larget mango tree on earth.
Not bad, though they can carry a variety of tropical diseases. Fortunately, there are a lot less of them than we had in Florida or even in TN where I lived for a time.
Copy, I was thinking you went back down to where your parents live but then saw some exotics for the florida area in one of your videos and I was like that has to be somewhere in the tropics that's why I asked. How many acres did you get?
Its impossible to turn into diabetic from fruit lol... Completely different effect on the body, in fact some have healed diabetes with fruit-only diet. Its the best food for human.

Mango trees are such a blessing
if I have a tree like this I don't need anything else. You must be the luckiest man in the world. I can eat all these mango in a day.
Me
My old house had a massive mango tree once it drop down and a mango hit my head.
@Indian boy Believe it or not but a lot of Americans don’t like mangoes, so I don’t think you can feed those to the homeless here🤣
Plants like these that gives food in abundance is a blessing. Specifically if there’s a shortage of food, now you’ll know their value
Very true!
My grandma used to have a huge mango tree that produced thousands of mango's per season, fully green un matured mangoes are the best with lime, salt and a little hot sauce.
What happens to the tree?
I prefer the mango blended with nothing but itself and drank
@@ayanbossyt7536 nothing
We does call that anchar
Wow! Now that's abundance! My chickens would love to help you keep up with the fallen fruit. Cheers!
hell yeah
Yeah, the birds do love the fallen fruit... though with the quantity, I may need to get some pigs!
My grandma had a big mango tree like this and chickens and they don't like mango's, the mango skin is bitter.
Unbeatable...
More than Work of art...
Great trees....I love it
Raining mangos. My literal dream. 😋
I will eat mango until the cow come home. You don't know how lucky you are to have a mango tree that big and full of fruits.
I am definitely lucky. We lived for a long time in Tennessee, far from mangoes. they are my favorite fruit... and they're coming back into season again soon! Can't wait.
yes! i grew up in colombia, i remember climbing these and eating mangos till we were all sticky and covered in mango juice lol

Thank you very much, Tessa. Good luck with the mango!

Fair sized.
Go to Bradenton Fla, Gamble Mansion. There are a pair of mango trees planted in the 1800's that are half again as big.
That's fantastic - would love to see them.
Where on the property are the trees? I've been to the Gamble Mansion in Ellenton but I've never noticed, so I'd like to check them out!
i used to live in Ft Lauderdale, close to a The Tennis Club (IDK if its still there). We lived in a mango orchard with trees just like that, in the middle of the city. We totally lived off mangos for months! Delish! Enjoy!!
Yeah, we've been eating a lot of mangoes. It's great.
There is NO WAY, NO WAY you can grow this GREAT of a Mango Giant that will produce this many mangoes here in this climate
You are so lucky to have this tree, up in New York we pay a small fortune for them.
Yeah. And they're rarely all that good up North. I think they pick them way too early.
wow...love this vid...nice to see a mango tree that old !
Top work that tree into a very desirable variety
I did know that. I grew up in Florida 😊
Can you graft it and get that giant tree veriety ? That way you can control the size of the new tree
Where is this? In understand the owner doesn't wish to disclose exact location, but at least the country. Thx in advance!
I saw an 80' mango tree in Belize
WesleyAPEX awww belize thats my home... im always happy when someone bring up belize. But belize do have alot of old mango trees
Wow what sight to behold!
My dad has one like that in his yard in Cabo Mexico!
I can tell the place, Philippines right?
Thank $
Hi! Would you please consider making a video on how to plant a mango tree? :)
Do you think it’s too old to be pruned?
Yes!
@@davidthegood Haha I just pruned my friend’s mango tree that is huge like that. Time with tell when it ever fruits again! I removed a lot of wood.
Mango are really a nice gift from god
Amazing 🌱🌱
How long did it take ?
People don’t believe me when I tell them bout mango trees in Trinidad
woow, where is it, looks huge
David, if you're into seeing ancient Mango tree, then check out some of the UA-cam videos in Bangladesh. Its huge man, I mean beastly big!
you can dehydrate them. or juice and make some (whatever alcohol drinks are called at that region). or make some jam...
I've dried them before - it's amazing. Though I end up eating about 3 years worth of sugar all at once. Can't stop - they're really good. We really have so many mangoes, though, that I haven't bothered yet. There are still mangoes ripening all over our homestead. Something like 20 trees here.
A still would be cool, though. Mango rum!
We use mango as timber in Sri Lanka.
I have heard it can be used but needs a good finish or it will rot quickly. I would love to make a mango wood table one day.
If you trim it it will get more bushy and produce TONSSSSS
what is the annual rainfall in your place? here at my place it is 4200mm per year and too wet for mangoes to fruit
Where I am it's less than half that rainfall, plus we have a solid division between wet and dry seasons.
David The Good Wow that's great.Mangoes need a dry period for flowering and fruiting.I have chopped my mango tree since the fruit gets attacked by anthracnose and its erratic flowering habit here in the equator.Btw what climate do you have at your place, monsoon tropical or tropical wet and dry?I suppose it is monsoon climate since you have featured a rambutan tree in your video.Rambutan does not fruit in tropical wet and dry climate since it needs water for the fruit to mature.Hence no rambutan in drier parts of thailand and indonesia.
One day I hope my mango 3 year old seedlings grows this big when I am an old man 👴
Looks like Dagoth from Conan the Destroyer, fibery stringy mangoes are the best tasting especially the Bombay descendants like Haitian Madame Francis
Just within 200 meters from my home there is a mango tree bigger than this one.
Lucky!
There are 4 large mango trees at the back of my house
Is it still alive? New housing has a way of altering groundwaters and killing monarch trees.
How old this is??
David if you ever have time just come to see 200 years old mango tree, the tree I am talking about homes in Bangladesh. It's the larget mango tree on earth.
Thank you. I would love to see that.
David The Good go to El Salvador theirs a ton of huge mango trees , different kind
Pls how old is it ?
Como se llama esa variedad de mango?
Nice....
Dave, how bad are the mosquitoes?
Not bad, though they can carry a variety of tropical diseases. Fortunately, there are a lot less of them than we had in Florida or even in TN where I lived for a time.
In South Texas they are brutal. That may be due to our city refusing to spray to save money.
Are these in Florida ?
No - down in the equatorial tropics.
is this heaven ?
yes
Mashalla
Location?
Grenada, West Indies.
In my village big tree are + more than it
Yes - you get some huge trees there!
Where?
We have a lot of those in Latin America.
Yes!
Yeah im from Trinidad I've seen them bigger.
Trinidad is perfect for mango!
That is call hairy mango here in belize
Hope you are selling those.
we did eat a bunch. There are so many mangoes here it's crazy. Price drops to about zero during the season.
Where did you move to?
Undisclosed location somewhere in the deep tropics. ;)
Copy, I was thinking you went back down to where your parents live but then saw some exotics for the florida area in one of your videos and I was like that has to be somewhere in the tropics that's why I asked. How many acres did you get?
We''re on just over two acres. More than enough to feed us. The climate allows for massive production.
David The Good Thank you!
Yes we have in india alot of it
Its impossible to turn into diabetic from fruit lol... Completely different effect on the body, in fact some have healed diabetes with fruit-only diet. Its the best food for human.
