This is the mango tree that was in our neighbors backyard, it provided shade and fruit for our chooks that you can see near the bottom left hand corner, and was a nice addition to the whole block.
One morning a man from a tree felling company knocked on our front door, and asked if he could put a machine in our backyard to cut the mango tree down with, this came as a shock to us, as our neighbors hadn't even talked to us about getting the tree taken down.
My mum made the most of the situation, and raced down the back with a basket picking all the mangoes she could.
We then made a very nice but spicy salad with some of the manges, I'll leave a link to it's recipe here.
This was how it looked at the end of the day, from a beautiful mango tree and Lilly Pilly which is in fact a native tree, to this, an ugly brick duplex.
I like it :)
