Aha...Its Flowering Like Crazy !

It has been 3 weeks since my last posting on the fruitless mango tree ! and I cannot believe it, the tree is blooming with flowers, flowers everwhere and it just sprout out from all parts of the tree ( I did not inspect the roots, in this case ). So, even the mere intent of "Shaming" the tree with the underwear has resulted in this stunning transformation. I like the photo of the bunch of flowers projecting out of the trunk of the tree ! Good tree. Wonder whether the fruits will be sweet ?

The Fruitless Manggo Tree OR ( what's an underwear got to do with a manggo tree ? )

Most flowering plants in our garden are doing their jobs, they bear flowers from time to time. The other manggo trees outside the fence did their jobs well - bearing fruits, nice and succulent at least annually, except one particular giant manggo tree. It was first to be planted and so far it gave some fruits ( small ones ! ) only once...some years ago. Since then it has been barren on fruits but very heavy on leaves. Apart from giving shade, its utterly miserable where fruits are concerned. We tried everything - putting fertilizers,hacking the trunk and even tried talking and coaxing gently to the tree, but to no avail. Some people say, I must try to put the stubborn tree to shame so that the other trees will mock at it. So, what is the best way ? they said by hanging an under garment to its trunk. So I will just do that : case of a desperate situation requiring an equally desperate action. Wonder, whether there is a research on this solution! Anyway, I am going to wait and see.
