So, where'd you get the seed for that tree? Did it have brothers and sisters from the same seed?
I have a 10yr. old mango tree in my back yard dropping fruit right now. If I get a seed that sprouts more than one embryo, does that mean for sure that I will have a clone of my tree, because I'd sure love another one for free. The fruit are absolutely heavenly. I eat one for breakfast every day. But it would be heartbreaking to nurture a tree for 5 to 8 years, then get fruit that was not good.
I've eaten fruit from 'wild' mango trees grown from seed of a tree with good fruit, and the wild ones had small, fiberous fruit with terrible turpentine-y flavor. One of those trees on an abandoned lot out east of us here has grown to pretty amazing size, too. I'll have to take a picture of it next time I drive by. It's a lot bigger than you'd want in your back yard.
Mine's a grafted variety that only grows to a max 25ft and I hope it never gets that big!
