There is an old mango tree here at Casa Loma that "apparently" produces the most incredible fruit. I have never had the pleasure of seeing the fruit
ripen or being able to taste any as it has either been stripped before I get here, or the season is wrong.
Yesterday I noticed that there were TWO mango's on the branches. I had no idea of how I was going to pick them as they were very high. Not to
worry... one of them was laying on the ground... perfectly ripened and ready for me to have for breakfast tomorrow!!!!
Ain't life grand????

You don't have to wait until a mango is ripe to eat it. In Central America they eat them green. Peel the mango, cut it into strips like french fries
and drench with lemon juice and salt. It has a delicious sweet-and-sour kind of taste. Won't make you sick like when eating unripened fruit.

I have always wanted a mango tree, and when it became time to purchase a small piece of paradise as our winter base, the fact that the property had a
mango tree made it an obivious choice. It was'nt until after we closed on the property that I realized we would not be there when the mangos were. I
have had comments from some of the local ag workers that the mangos are there in the summer, are very good, and the tree gives them a place to get out
of the sun. I guess that will have to do for now.

Here's a mango tree at Juncalito (south of Loreto) last July...

Yum! We are always there for mango season it wouldn't be Cabo without some mangoes! My stepsons' grandfather has a huerta in Pescadero, so we always
make a stop there for mangoes! They say the best ones come from Todos Santos, so maybe you've found the tree!
We went to an orchard in Santiago one year and those ones were big and tasty. We have a couple of trees on our property, but one has got some kind of
"plaga", it's leaves are coverd with a black, sticky substance. The other one we cut back, and it's doing better. We also have a little one, that we
got some mangoes from last summer.
My husband planted his trees before he did anything else with the property, so he has a nice mandarina, a guava, and a date, not too mention the
limones! Always fresh fruit on our vacations!
Eating Mangos?

Oh, so that's why you weren't home in Victoria, when I phoned a couple of hours ago...you're down there eating your own mangos. How wonderful to
actually get a chance to try one off your own tree.
Actually, I thought you had left already, and I'll be right behind you ...I'm leaving on Monday. Hope I get a chance to find one left on my trees.
See you in Baja
