See those fruits ? In case you grew up in a blighted Yankee hellhole ( spittle ) and do n’t know what those are , those are mangoes .
They are one of the most unbelievable and delightful fruits on the planet . If you experience in an aforesaid Yankee res publica and have bought them in a grocery store , you do n’t know what they taste like . They ’re atrocious from the grocery . Sweet - sullen with a turpentine undertone .
Those are not the mangoes we have in Florida . The mangoes in Florida , or more specifically to the south Florida , are rich , sweetened , tropical , bursting with tone and absolutely hook .
A Master Gardener in North Florida once told me that they loved the oak tree woods in North Florida and really thought South Florida was deplorable because they did n’t have hulk oaks .
I respond , “ oak ? In South Florida , the MANGO TREES are the size of oaks ! ”
grounds :
Those are 50 - 60′ mango tree tree . They are dead unbelievable .
These exceptional tree diagram are get at my in - laws ’ star sign . Long ago , a man plant a modest plantation of mango tree trees in his 1000 … then trade the family to my mother - and - father - in - legal philosophy , and the trees just restrain on growing … and growing … and produce .
Picking mango ( from trees this size of it ) takes some serious work . Here ’s my father - in - jurisprudence taking a few down :
That ’s a monolithic telescope pole used to change fuses on transformer . It ’s a serious fiberglass dick with a hook on the end . A mango tree crotchet !
The prank is to catch the falling fruit … or use up them quick if they demolish into the land .
I admit : I did gravely at catching the fruit the day I consider these film . The tropical sun was gamey in the sky and as they fell they bounced all around the offset erratically . I was also a slight concerned about getting brained .
But , in the conclusion , we picked pail of mangoes , God ’s gift to Floridians .
Though mangoes ca n’t take the winters where I live , I do get to chit-chat the tree diagram down south now and again . I ’ll take that … particularly when I get to eat their yield .
Thanks , Dad !
