Mango Season 2030...
On average, it takes about 10 years for a young mango tree to bear fruit.We took some mangoes from my last visit before my house sold.
Some of the best mangoes in South Florida came from that tree.
A seed was planted and now a tree is born!
Unfortunately, I'm not allowed to plant fruit trees where I currently live.
Hopefully, I'll find a house and sell my condo before this new tree gets too high for my screened patio.
I suppose I could learn the art of Bonsai Mango!

Perhaps the new owners of your old home
will allow you to harvest some of the surplus from your old tree
for the next decade.
I have some more ripe ones from last week's shopping trip.
To celebrate your new tree success, I will toast it now with consumption of one of the ripe mangoes now.
I ate a mango the other day and I put the seed to dry.
I wanted to plant it.
But if it takes 10 years then never mind.
I'll keep on buying my fruit from the market.
It's 10 years to eat a magical mango... or as Jim suggests, ask the new owner for some mangoes.
Jokingly, I did mention that to the new buyer and sales agent that I forgot to include that in the contract for the sale of the house.
Around Florida (including the imported ones) I can recognize 3 or 4 different varieties.
