 Hi Everyone -- Hope you are doing well, keeping safe and getting back to normal post-covid activities.  In this blog, I will share about my 6+ years old mango trees...  Mango is King of Fruits in India. We planted these set of mango trees almost 6 years ago in farm. When I purchased these trees from an agriculture office, the officer told me that, it will yield in 3 years.
