had same issue with a tree of mine about 6 plus years ago
got rid of it

the climate can be a problem
- check your PH level of your soil

if neighbor has fruit try asking or maybe there variety is different to yours

Did you get any pollination after flowering, that is , did little fruit form and then they fell off or were there no little fruit? If no little fruit formed it would probably be a pollination problem. What is the weather like there at flowering time, cold weather and rain can upset pollination.

On the topic of mango, does anyone know where I can get a Keitt from? It's currently listed as "In Production" on daleys, but I've had my eye on it for several months and want to get it established before our summer heat.

My reading on the Keitt leads me to believe it was specifically bred for it's frost tolerance and is grown extensively in California. Does anyone have any suggestions to other varieties that have some frost tolerance?
