On first glance, there is nothing unusual about this tree. If you click to enlarge it, you will find a bountiful harvest. This is a Mango tree. In approximately one month, these little gifts from Mother Nature will be ready to be consumed. People will be giving them away because there will be so many. We have actually opened our front door to find a basket overflowing with Mangos;no card or note letting us know who gave them. Anyone who has a tree in their yard, will have more than they could possibly eat. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of recipes for them. I have two favorites;Mango Upside Down Cake and a Mango Daiquiri to wash it down. Heaven! Do you have a favorite Mango recipe? That's My World Tuesday.

Yum. When I was a kid my neighborhood had all kinds of trees(orange,lemon,avocado,peach,apricot,lime,olive,date palms,pomegranate,banana, even guavas) but no mangos. I love mangos.
ReplyDeleteVery nice photo. It's not my recipe, but the historic Menger Hotel in San Antonio has mango ice cream that is out of this world. A real treat.
ReplyDeleteBTW, the Menger lobby also has a huge painting "Venting Cattle" (?) that was used in the movie "Giant".
When we first moved to Pembroke Pines, our neighbors had a mango tree and they were quite "generous" with them...I never did develop a taste and then learned they can be a problem for people allergic to them.
ReplyDeleteI think mangoes are an acquired taste.
That is a blast from my past. I was born in the tropics and every where there is a mango tree, oh yummy.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm yum! is right! Sounds wonderful to me! Great photo! Have a good week!
ReplyDeleteTry Mango ice cream,ideals for the coming summer too. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy mango-eating to you!
the mango tree branches are already bending over with its load of mangoes..mangoes here in my country are quite popular and in some parts are exported to other countries. My world is up too.
ReplyDeleteOh my what a wonderful tree to have indeed! I have no need for a lot of mango recipes, lots of apple recipes though. But really, the favorite mango recipe of mine is my daughter's sweet yeast bread with mango, and coconut.
ReplyDeleteI just like my mango plain! I don't think I had ever seen a mango tree, oh yummie, lucky, lucky you to have such bounty around.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great story to go with your photo. A mango daiquiri to wash the day down sounds good to me.
ReplyDeleteOh wow! That is a lot of mangoes. Mangoes abound in my part of the world and Mango shake is very big here. Another favorite is Mango cream pie!
ReplyDeleteWhoa!!! That tree is loaded with the darn things. I have never seen a mango tree before. Very neat. Kinda like an apple tree---too many. MB
ReplyDeleteSend some my way.
ReplyDeleteFor what I knew till now, mangoes could sprout from earth like pumpkins or grow in vines. This tree is huge, majestic and I hope you'll post it again just before the 'distribution' starts.
ReplyDeleteLook out below! Do these babies need to be harvested or do they fall to the ground on their own? Are they the same kind that we buy in the store? This tree probably has an amazing trunk and branch system and would be beautiful were it to shed it's leaves, but since you are tropical, if that were to happen, it would be dead so we won't go there. Have a daiquiri for me!
ReplyDeleteyes...of course we like it!
ReplyDeleteNostalgic post!
Thanks :-)

I love mangos! That is a huge tree!
ReplyDeleteIt's attractive tree.
ReplyDeleteWhen we lived in Ft. Lauderdale we were often given avacados by friends. Never got magoes. All I can say is get the blender out and get cranking on those mango daiquiris, I'll be there as soon as I can!
ReplyDeleteI love mangoes and can never get enough of them.
ReplyDeleteI had absolutely NO IDEA what a mango tree looked like and this is so beautiful. I love trees and this is the best photo I saw today. Definitely.
ReplyDeleteSo that is how a mango tree looks like... I had no idea.... If you have a mango tree, indeed you should share it, at least with your neighbours!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a mango tree, but I do love dried mangoes as backpacking food.
ReplyDeleteSo that's what the trees look like. I saw the blooms on another blog, rather tiny I think. We have the same issues with citrus around here. And pecans. When it's a bumper year we can't do anything but grow sick of them. The squirrels get fat and happy.
ReplyDeleteMangoes are heavenly, aptly named the King of Fruits for their exotic taste.
ReplyDeleteI've been having them since small; and these days, imported ones.;)
I've seen many mango trees while travelling south, but it's the 1st time I see one having fruits growing. It's just fantastic!
ReplyDeleteMy gosh that is huge! I just made Coconut Mango chicken last night! I paid $2 for each mango. The organic ones are $4 each here.
ReplyDeleteMangos are so delicious. Here in the cold north it's just hard to imagine trees full of the fruit growing like nobody's business.
ReplyDeleteWell, he must have been sitting on the other side of the fence then :-)
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing like a fresh mango, but it's got to be not stringy inside! I do miss the mangoes in FL!!!
