Get ready for the annual Palmetto Bay Mango-fest!
March 11 - 2026- The blooms on our mango trees look healthy, though a bit behind the usual schedule (late blooming). This should be a big year, assuming no fungus or foul weather including the heavy winds that often arrive in March.
We will be looking for help in trades once again this year. Participants will once again be doing me a favor by taking the fruit we cannot use (fruit drop - spoilage - is a waste - and attracts vermin). Trades have historically included non-mango fruit swaps as well as mangoes in exchange for samples that included mango bread and jam, dried mango and chutney. I have received backyard Palmetto Bay home produced eggs. I am always open for new trades. This is our Palmetto Bay community!
Serious note - one of the best trades is simply seeing the fruit leave my yard without spoiling to be enjoyed by others. Mango trees can be quite overwhelming at times.

I have posted photos of some of our trees taken on March 11, 2026:
