On the left we have Nam Doc Mai, and the right we have the Glenn..

The glenn is flowering big time now.. the nam doc flowered in the midst of winter and one single mango made it thru unscathed.. hopefully it grows, but i wouldn't be surprised if it ends up dieing off... also in the background you can see my sleeping Fuji Apple just barely waking up from its winter slumber (only one leaf has popped out so far lol)

Very Nice! How may hours of sun do they get in this location? Do you use shade screen in the summer?

Looks good. Yes, usually the first couple of years the mangoes will drop off before getting very far. I also see your foosball table there. What could be better than a yard with mangoes and foosball.

the location gets full sun.. youll notice the ground is shaded only in the morning due to the brick wall on the eastern side of my yard.. and this photo was taken around 8am.

for the last couple years ive used shade cloth.. but im going try try and do without it this year, we'll see how it goes

yeah and that fooseball table is now my work bench LOL.. its been weathered so bad.. probably salvagable with some sanding, it was out in full sun for a year and has been baked and rained on until i brought it under the patio.. i never play it =\
