Flowering & PollinationDoes a strong mango flower scent show that pollination has succeeded?
Scent is not a test of pollen delivery or fertilization. A fragrant canopy still needs functioning flowers and suitable opportunities for pollen transfer. Assess visits, flower condition, and bloom stage rather than using fragrance as a reproductive score. If flowers smell normal but fail repeatedly, preserve that observation as background information while investigating the specific step that appears to be failing, instead of treating scent as evidence that the process was completed.
