300 years.
A mango tree in full bloom in Kerala. Mango trees grow up to 35–40 m (115–131 ft) tall, with a crown radius of 10 m (33 ft). The trees are long-lived, as some specimens still fruit after 300 years. In deep soil, the taproot descends to a depth of 6 m (20 ft), with profuse, wide-spreading feeder roots; the tree also sends down many anchor roots, which penetrate several feet of soil. The mango is a juicy stone fruit belonging to the genus Mangifera, consisting of numerous tropical fruiting trees, cultivated mostly for edible fruit. The majority of these species are found in nature as wild mangoes. If it is maintained well it can live up to 110 years. Trust me, when my grandpa was a little boy he planted a coconut tree and took good care of it. then he passed away in 196 … 0 by then the tree was 103 years old and my grandpa was 107! (healthy man!) and now i am taking care of it and it is about 160 years old! 16 people found this useful. Best Answer: The fruit bearing age of Mango trees belongs to the way of propagation: For example, a mango tree grown from a seed will take approximately 6-10 years before it will fruit. Grafted and air-layered trees are engineered from branches of mature trees, so the young plant behaves as a mature plant immediately. Report Abuse. about 5 years i think. but, I used to have a mango tree at my old house and it only produced one mango in it entire life, which I never got to eat because a fruit bat beat me to it. nikki · 7 years ago. Fruiting. Once the mango flowers, the fruits require four to five months to develop and ripen on the tree. Early mangoes, such as Manila, are generally harvested for two months, in June and July. The fruits and their soft flesh turn a pale golden yellow when ripe. A gentle tug separates the fruit from the branch. While still a young variety, a Manila mango tree could live as long as the oldest mango tree -- more than 300 years. A mango tree that is grown from a pip take about 5-6 years, but if you get one from a nursery that is grown from inoculation (not sure if that is the correct word ..lol...) it produces much quicker, I have seen good mangoes on a small inoculated tree after about two years.

Depending on the variety mango trees can grow huge (to 35 m and 15 m across for seedling trees of older varieties). But you can keep a mango tree small by pruning it regularly. A mango tree in full flower is a sight to behold. The large pink panicles are at the ends of the branches and cover the whole tree. If you grow mango from seed you need to know exactly which tree your mango seed came from or you won't know what you are getting until eight years later...

Manila) is hardy in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 9 through 11. While still a young variety, a Manila mango tree could live as long as the oldest mango tree -- more than 300 years. Depending on the variety and growing conditions a mango tree will start producing fruit in six to ten years. If you are planning to grow a tree from a seed, you will very likely never see fruit, or if you do it will be inferior. Mango seeds very, very seldom produce a copy of the mother tree and for that reason trees are propagated from grafts or buds. A tree from a seed does make a beautiful ornamental, though. Best Answer: Mango trees are relatively slow growing, at least to get them to the fruiting stage. Even in tropical areas it can take 5-10 years for you to see fruit. Apparently growing them hydroponically will lead to fruit yield more quickly. If you are planning to grow a tree from a seed, you will very likely never see fruit, or if you do it will be inferior.
