Germination: Mango seeds are planted in nutrient-rich soil and watered regularly. The seedling emerges from the soil within a few weeks.
Seedling stage: The mango seedling grows into a small tree with a single stem and a few leaves. During this stage, the tree requires regular watering and fertilization.
Vegetative growth stage: The tree grows rapidly and produces many branches and leaves. This stage can last for several years, during which time the tree does not produce fruit.
Flowering stage: The tree produces small, yellowish-green flowers that attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies. The flowers typically appear in the late winter or early spring.
Fruit development stage: After the flowers are pollinated, small green fruit appear on the tree. Over time, the fruit grows larger and changes color, eventually becoming ripe and ready for harvesting.
Harvesting stage: Mangoes are typically harvested when they are fully ripe and have developed their characteristic color and aroma. This stage can last for several weeks, depending on the variety of mango and the local climate.
Dormancy stage: After the mangoes have been harvested, the tree enters a period of dormancy during which it conserves its energy and prepares for the next growing season. During this stage, the tree requires less water and fertilizer than during the growing season.
