Precocity

Precocity is a tendency to reach reproductive activity relatively early. In mango descriptions it may refer to a cultivar or a grafted tree that flowers and fruits at a young age under suitable conditions. It is a comparative trait, not a promise of a crop in a fixed year after purchase. A very young tree carrying fruit can also sacrifice establishment and branch development, so early flowering should be evaluated alongside tree strength rather than treated as the only sign of quality.
