PICTURES MY VERY OWN MANGO TREE (2010)

Flowers in full bloom in Dec 2009

A close up of a healthy bunch of flowers

From flower to fruit - tiny mangoes looking like serial bulbs

My mango tree which was full of mangoes in April 2010

Close up of the green mango bunch

Remains of a mango after a squirrel had nibbled at it

A parrot feasting on a juicy almost ripe mango

The green mangoes are hand plucked from the tree

The green mangoes are then washed and put on newspaper to dry

after which they are put in a bag to ripen

the burst of yellow when it is ripe


Juicy mangoes ready for distribution to relatives and friends

This heap is ready for the neighbour
