Flowering & PollinationDoes a mango have a fixed proportion of male and bisexual flowers?
The proportion varies with plant material, conditions during development, and position within the flower cluster. A ratio from one study should not be treated as a diagnostic target for every tree. Examine representative panicles if flower composition is in question. Compare similar developmental stages, and distinguish a normal variation in flower types from visibly distorted growth that needs a separate plant-health assessment.
