My Kent barely has any going at all. I don't know if the wind or what got to it but maybe 5 mangos on the whole tree. Usually we can't keep up with it.

same here in Palm Beach County, Boynton Beach.

The kent mango maybe 2 dozen on one tree and a combined two dozen on the other three. The turpentine last year was ballistic with over a 1,000 between two trees maybe 100 this year. This is all at moms house.

My turpentine last year was slow. This year its going off.

Yup ! no ryme or reason

Well, Im not as smart as I look. As I mentioned my mom has both kinds of tree. So one day I find a sproutling(?) and I put it in a 5 gallon bucket where it lived for 5 unglorious years. So I buy a house(lived in a condo so couldnt plant it) and it has a grapefruit tree. So when the state decided to releive me of said tree the mango tree in the bucket had its chance. So after three years it bears fruit and damm its a turpentine. I thought it was a kent the whole time. Looking back I did find it under the turpentine giving meaning to my intelligence remark. So no I was not trying to purposely grow a turpentine. I have mentioned on other posts I have no idea why people say they taste like turpentine. When they show the first sign of yellow is when its time to eat it. After that they are good for juice. The carribean neighbors prefer the little yellow one we call turpentines.

Edit:

My neighbors say when they are good and yellow they squeeze the insides real good then bit the tip of it off and suck....
