Extra Information
Weed warning: Classifying the mango as a potential weed may generate some chuckles as most people would be quite happy to have a wild mango growing along their fenceline however it can cause some concern when upstream of protected native areas and in the sub/tropical areas they can be seen self seeding downstream or down hill of cultivated mango trees.

Kensington pride,i found a bale of straw or cane mulch built up to the lowest leaves as wide as the diameter, keeps the tree healthy,this keeps the feeder roots cool in summer,warm in winter, to much fertiliser turns flesh orange spoiling the flavour
