I bought one Manila fr Orchard supply on Oct 2012,got it in ground 2 weeks later at about 4 feet, tipped it Feb 2013 .
It grown more than 2 feet last summer.
I tipped it again in Jan 2014 ,now it start to have new buds and flowers even though its trunk is only about 2 inches.

10 Soucal years? At least 20 fruits,maybe 40 if they are Manila and its a planted Manila,not potted. Others like Haden do very well in soucal..bigger fruit,fine taste. They might bear alternate years..heavy one ,less the next. Still healthy trees.

Tranxyz,

This is amazing that you bought in early 2013 (Oct 2012) and now it has 2" trunk and flower!!! How big the trunk was when you bought it? You have been doing very well growing mango. What did you do in term of water and fertilizer, soil condition? What zip code of your zone?
I'm in 91501 and it took 3 years or more for my Manila to have flower this year, and the trunk is less than 1.2"

Thanks Tranxyz and Stanofh for your replies. I would like to grow a mango tree in the ground (not in pot). If a tree can produce around 40 fruits, it is a good production. Do you know about production of Glenn mango in So Cal?

Thanks

My 10 year old manila produced 110 fruit the year before last. THe tree is about 15 high by 10 feet wide. but also remember, it took close to 5 years before I got my first fruit

Glenn production? My tree is only 3 years old or so, but hope to get at least 10 this year.....but Manila is the fastest grower...BUT.....the Valencia Pride mango, which has fruit better than the Manila, grows just as fast - and you'll getr fruit in 2-3 years. Make sure it's a grafted tree. That's why the Manila takes so long, cuz it's a seedling....

Hi MDog

Thanks for you reply MDog. Wow, your Manila produced a lot of fruits last year. Were the fruits big as they should be?
You wrote "the Valencia Pride mango, which has fruit better than the Manila" , do you mean the flavor is better or production is better?
Thanks.

VP definitely is a better tasting mango, but with my smaller tree I can't tell yet about it's production...
