My mango tree should not be fruiting. It’s only 2 feet tall, and I cut off the tall branch that was putting out flowers. It thwarted my efforts and put out a bunch of lateral branches instead, and now it’s covered in baby mangoes. I know I should chop them all off, but I can’t bring myself to do so!

Congrats, you have a really fertile plant that’s gifting you with the first mango batch. Be proud, don’t worries they probably won’t be able to grow big enough and will soon fall of the tree, better now than later

Great advice!
