dry rot in a mango tree

[sand surfer]

A old mango tree with dry rot, the roots were bad it had a good lean on it, if it went over it would have hit house

so a mate and i gave it a hair cut with the new toy i got last week

 

[Deepseeker]

Streuth sand surfer, being a southerner I didn't realize that they got to be such a big tree. It's always sad to see an old tree go, especially a fruit tree, but safety must come first.

 

[Jaros]

Yeah, we have one next door to us -humungus-bloody mangoes falling onto the garage roof next door---Bombs!!!! at 2am.

 

[Deepseeker]

Has anybody ever tried to make a Mango wine? Would be cost prohibitive for us southerners as we can only buy them from the shops, but if you live where they are dropping all over the place I wonder if it would make a good drop of plonk or liqueur?

 

[LONEWOLF]

Don't forget the Bats as well Jaros.. .
And Never park under a Mango tree during Fruiting... See some bad damage from them...

Guess you could make Wine from them... They use every other fruit for wine... You would only need 6 or so Mangoes...

A lot of 'Backyard' Mango Trees are what they call 'Commons'... Stringy and Okish to eat... I used to get heaps and mix in a few Bowens with them and freeze for Mango Puree for all year enjoyment...

Some even eat them Green with a bit of Salt... I will Pass thank-you...

Whats the best part about eating a QLD Mango ?....... Wearing it all over your Face and Shirt... :lol: :lol:

Never tried to make plonk out of them deepseeker,bloddy thing was about 30 meters tall the one on the other side of the shed is bigger, it has to come down to, but it will be a high limb and pole saw job, got to take some of the canopy out first,or the misses might get upset if the orchard house goe's a bit flat ,no sense of humour sometimes

 

[Deepseeker]

It's amazing the food going to waste in this country. Camel plagues, dropping Mangoes. Can you imagine sitting under the stars eating Camel steaks from the BBQ like the ones Madtuna showed us, washed down with a Mango wine? We could dine like Kings on the Feral and Wild stuff running around and growing out there.

 

[sand surfer]

That one was a common LW the other one is a bowen , i have got another 2 KP's and one bannana one, but they are a lot younger.Yep you wear just as much on the outside as on the inside we need a mango eating emoji LW :lol:

 

[sand surfer]

That's not the half of it deepseeker we get a mango drop before the season starts, the trees drop all the nubbings( fruit that does not have a seed in it )bad years you can loose half your crop,they average from about golf ball size to half a tennis ball in size when they drop :Y:

There is a terrible waste of Food in this Country... I would love to try a Camel steak, but you won't keep me away from that Mango wine...

Thanks for the link Rockhunter... :Y:

Yes We do need a Mango Emoji... Just for the Mango lovers on here... We have a cake emoji, so why not a Mango one.. :koala:

I could just see Us now, out the front of Jaros's house with Placards, 'What Do We Want? A Mango Emoji, When Do We Want It, NOW'... :lol: :lol: :lol:

I hate it when you have a tree full of 'nubbings' and slowly over 2-3 weeks every single one, bar one drops off... You then nurture that lone Mango into a beautiful large fruit, only to have those Bloody bats get it one windy Night.... *******s...

We had a Bowen Tree on the fence line when we lived in Mackay... When one drops, it was a race between Neighbours to get it... We even moved our lounges in our lounge rooms so we both could watch that tree.. :lol: :lol:

And here I was thinking that mango trees were only good for providing shade and supplying nice wooden forks for your slingshot. Never thought that people would make wine out of them let alone eating them, yuck.

They do have nice wood don't they... :Y:

LW....

 

[sand surfer]

Nice wood for turning ,had a huge one years ago about 4 foot across the trunk, got onto the local wood turners wanted it for nothing plus land it there,but you go to there shed and they charge $50.00 for a piece 5" thick and a foot long, mate had a wood chipper nice wood for the smoker goes all right with fish, what we did not chip got torched then they winged

 

[sand surfer]

We could gather at jaros's at 2am LW the mango alarm has him awake :lol:

 

[nucopia]

We have a couple of mango trees on the farm that are probably 80 + years old the diggers Grandfather planted them back before WWII.
They can grow up to 35-40 meters in hight and live up to 300 years ..
My lot love eating the unrippened green mangos with anchovy past .. tastes pretty good too
