[thechat] Mangoes

[Norman Beresford]

Hi all

I'm really lucky, in my road we've got a few Spaghetti trees which were
imported from southern Switzerland.  The BBC came and made a film of it a
few years ago.

It certainly explains our penchant for pasta.

Think I should have sent this message a few months back :D

Hello Everybody,
I have a mango tree in my lawn. But it is not producing fruit. Its tiny
flowers
(which we call "boor" in our language) don't turn into mangoes and wither
into
black sponge like substance. I have consulted an expert of mango trees. He
say
that the plant needs some treatment. It will begin in August and continue
till
the next mango season. I think this treatment will succeed.
I have heard that in North America (USA and Canada) mangoes are not as
common as
in Asia. Is it true? Do you enjoy the companionship of the trees of King of
Fruits?
