    I will surely make a trip to the college area next month (hopefully it will still have some)to take a look….. :-P . I think I remember how to climb mango trees at nights with my bag and flashlight. That is called taking, NOT stealing. :lol:

    Would love some of DA’s mangoes. Grafted ones, mango long, etc. Just delicious.
    Those who are old enough will remember the song by the Merry Men, “Mango.”

    hhhmmm i honestly believe allu putting pix for those in the diaspora to feel really homesick… for real… do dominicans ‘have’ to see a pic of a mango tree… as ‘photo of the day’ lol…. i think this is an initiative to ‘force’ those in the diaspora to come back home…. ‘when last have u climbed a mango tree for some fresh mangoes???? well come back home”

    I don’t know what about seeing mangoes on a tree that makes me happy…but this photo just put a smile on my face after reading the story about the young man in Portsmouth.
