In the past, 90% of African bush mango products were harvested from scattered, wild trees. [3] African bush mango trees were not cultivated initially, because it was believed, that it took up to 15 years for a tree to bear fruit. Although they were not artificially planted, their occurrence was high because they were also rarely harvested for ...
A mango is an edible stone fruit produced by the tropical tree Mangifera indica. It originated from the region between northwestern Myanmar , Bangladesh , and northeastern India . [ 1 ] [ 2 ] M. indica has been cultivated in South and Southeast Asia since ancient times resulting in two types of modern mango cultivars: the "Indian type" and the ...
Mangifera indica, commonly known as mango, is an evergreen [3] species of flowering plant in the family Anacardiaceae. [4] It is a large fruit tree, capable of growing to a height and width of 30 m (100 ft). [5] There are two distinct genetic populations in modern mangoes – the "Indian type" and the "Southeast Asian type". [6]

Diseases of perennial crops such as mango are devastating due to the long time period to maturity for the plants, as a tree grown from seed will not produce fruit until it has reached three to six years of age. In contrast, the mango tree may live and produce fruit for several hundred years if it remains healthy and is well cared for. [10]
After planting, the tree should be watered and tied to a sturdy stake. When the sapling is 2-3 years old and new branches sprout from the base, they should be pruned. Any physical deformities in the tree should be pruned. When the tree is 4-5 years old, it should bear mangoes. In fruiting trees, remove suckers, dry branches, and diseased branches.
This would help explain why the tree did not produce fruit until 1898, as most grafted trees will produce within 5 years. This would mean that 'Mulgoba' originated as a chance seedling of a superior variety, though such varieties were rarely used as rootstocks for grafted trees in India, complicating this explanation.
The nymphs and females suck plant sap from inflorescences, tender leaves, shoots and fruit peduncles. [2] As a result, the infested inflorescences dry up, affects the fruit set, causing fruit drop. These bugs also exude honey dew over the mango tree leaves, on which sooty mold fungus develops reducing the photosynthetic efficiency of the tree.
