Alphonso Mango Tree

By Samanvita Pathanjali

This is my family's alphonso mango tree. We usually water it every other day, but like the banana tree we have, the rain has fulfilled its needs for now. We got it shipped from Florida and my dad dug a hole, placing the tree in it. We got it in the summer, during the quarantine period. We usually see these mangoes in our local Indian Grocery store, and our family loves them. I'll probably be in college before the first mango grows, unfortunately. Regardless, I'm excited to see how these mangos will turn out.
