Seems funny, but I thought I got confused. Doesnt leaf look different? I am going through bad days it seems. I have confusion on Mango tree also :(.... mango tree ( sprouts): I hope you and/or ... sure must be knowing about, this unusual feature of Mango tree. When they flower after Holi some sprout like flowers of green colour also comes out in bunches and they just keep hanging (for months together) with the tree and never turns into fruits. It happens in one of my mango tree whenever it flowers and then I noticed the same feature in many other mango trees of my area. It effects fruits, in fact fruiting is almost negligible as compared to my other mango trees. Please tell is it some kind of disease or something else? Is there any remedy to it ? I have the same problem in my trees. One of the local horticulturalist advised me to cu those branches and burn them. He said that it's a disease. It's an ongoing process of every year. My problem is those small flies that comes on Mango trees at this time of year. We dont want to use pesticide so any other remedy will be useful if someone can suggest. Here are two contenders that may be responsible for the symptoms you describe: 1) Anthracnose (Colletotrichumstate of Glomerella cingulata Ston, Spaull and Schrenk) : Severe infection destroys the entire inflorescence resulting in no setting of fruits.Tender shoots and foliage are easily affected which ultimately cause ‘die back’ of young branches. Older twigs may also be infected through wounds which in severe cases may be fatal.Depending on the prevailing weather conditions blossom blight may vary in severity from slight to a heavy infection of the panicles. 2) a) Powdery mildew (Oidium mangiferae Berthet) : The affected flowers and fruits drop pre-maturely reducing the crop load considerably or might even prevent the fruit set. The characteristic symptom of the disease is the white superficial powdery fungal growth on leaves, stalks of panicles, flowers and young fruits. http://www.horticultureworld.net/mango-india2.htm
Found this Mango tree at a private society at Pune. The branches were cut. It had big sized young leaves almost 11 inches in length. Is it normal for a mango tree to have such big young leaves?. There were other mango trees in the vicinity none were trimmed but none had such big leaves. One of my highlights of this year's mango season is a giant Kesar mango. Of all the fruits on the tree, it was the only one that beat the yardstick to reach a size of 11 inches x 5 inches, and weighed an impressive 1.6 kgs! The stone is 9 inches long and 2.2 inches wide at the centre but slender nevertheless! This exceptional Kesar bore all the virtues of its archetypal siblings: a tantalizing aroma, a uniformly smooth & fibre-free pulp, a multi-dimensional flavour, and a thin peel. It was harvested from Choukoshi Wadi in Bhujpur village (Mundra, South Kachchh); this cheerful farm belongs to one of my uncles - Bipinbhai Bheda - who is an agriculturist. Have attached some photographs of this marvellous fruit as well as a brief report that appeared in the Gujarati newspaper Mumbai Samachar [06-June-2012]. The farmhands in the last picture are perhaps the only people to have seen it on the tree. This mango alone produced around three litres of the most deliciously refreshing Mango Panna concentrate! Hope you enjoy seeing these pictures as much as we relished this luscious drink ;-) Fruit Trees of Bangalore - RA - Mangifera Indica - Mango Tree: For completeness sake let me add these trees also. It is a matter of astonishment to many that the delicious mango, one of the most celebrated of Indian fruits, is a member of the family Anacardiaceae notorious for embracing a number of highly poisonous plants. The mango tree is erect, 30 to 100 ft high, with a broad, rounded canopy which may, with age, attain 100 to 125 ft in width, or a more upright, oval, relatively slender crown. In deep soil, the taproot descends to a depth of 20 ft, the profuse, wide-spreading, feeder root system also sends down many anchor roots which penetrate for several feet. The tree is long-lived, some specimens being known to be 300 years old and still fruiting. Nearly evergreen, alternate leaves are borne mainly in rosettes at the tips of the branches and numerous twigs from which they droop like ribbons on slender petioles 1 to 4 in long. Hundreds and even as many as 3,000 to 4,000 small, yellowish or reddish flowers, 25% to 98% male, the rest hermaphroditic, are borne in profuse, showy, erect, pyramidal, branched clusters 2 1/2 to 15 1/2 in high. There is great variation in the form, size, color and quality of the fruits. They may be nearly round, oval, ovoid-oblong, or somewhat kidney-shaped, often with a break at the apex, and are usually more or less lop-sided. Ref. Peurdue Beautiful Shots of Mango Tree

Both species appear quite close as per GBIF specimens: https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/gallery?taxon_key=3662568 (Mangifera linearifolia- all specimens from Thailand) https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/gallery?taxon_key=3662645 (Mangifera khasiana Pierre - all specimens from India, but no fruiting specimen) Hi, ..., What are the species reported from your area ? Going by leaf venation as per specimen, I think close to Mangifera khasiana Pierre (Distribution: India (Meghalaya), Sikkim as per Catalogue of Life). As per SPECIES OF MANGIFERA - Bioversity International, Mangifera linearifolia is not mentioned anywhere (probably a syn. as per them). In India, M.indica, M. khasiana, M.andamanica and M. sylvatica only are mentioned. So it is most likely to be M. khasiana. Only Mangifera indica and M.sylvatica are recorded in my State- from … as per reply in another thread. Are these images from the same tree in MS Nov., 2020/01 Mangifera for ID ? Here the beak of the fruit looks different. But I am not able to find the description of M. khasiana. … has stated in another thread (Mangifera sylvatica?) that 'The fruits of the M sylvatica as per Flora of India, 4.5-6 cm long and 2.5-3 cm wide. The fruits are acuminate with protruded tips in M. khasiana and M. sylvatica'. If this is true, it may be M.indica only. Going by the Mangifera keys, it may be Mangifera indica only.
This is from Rajnagar, Kumarghat, Tripura It is called bon am or laxmi am with little flesh but sweet in taste. The tree is very tall and found in deep forest. It is not cultivated at all. I suspect it to be Mangifera sylvatica Please identify I guess it is correct ID ! What is the size of the fruit vis-à-vis normal Mango ? Is it half in length? Not clear from your images. Also I do not see pointed portion of the fruit as in However, some images on net sites do not show the pointed portion as in Thanks for the mail. Indeed I've seen the Mangifera sylvatica in Andaman, when I was serving in Port Blair. It is of somewhat sour taste. The fruits of the M sylvatica as per Flora of India, 4.5-6 cm long and 2.5-3 cm wide. The fruits are acuminate with protruded tip in M. khasiana and M. sylvatica. From the photos given, I think it is of M. indica only! What was the size of these compared to those of normal mangoes ? 2 inches. The petiole is long and leaves are different. Forest dept says it is Mangifera sylvatica. No pulp and the seed is big as that of fruit. There are significant patches of red colour on the fruit, so it is laxmi am. I think this may also turn out to be Mangifera khasiana as per discussions at MS Nov., 2020/02 Mangifera sp. (khasiana ?) for Id. Only Mangifera indica and M.sylvatica are recorded in my State Mangifera linearifolia (Mukh.) Kosterm. ?? For your suggested id, pl. see my comments at MS Nov., 2020/02 Mangifera sp. (khasiana ?) for Id. Thanks, ..., I am not finding a description of Mangifera khasiana on the net. Could you pl. help us with the description? Thanks, … Based on the keys at Mangifera khasiana description, we should take it M.indica only i want to share native name of Mango plant in Santali with script and its transliteration as: Mangifera indica in Santali : ᱩᱞ ul ..., thank you very much for this fabulous contribution/ validation of Santali names of plants, and for providing them in native script. ..., many thanks to you for continuously providing the Nepali names of plants, and for providing them in Devanagari script.
