Carrie Mango Tree not producing fruit

[damethod]

My 8 yr old Carrie mango tree was hit hard back in 2004 by two hurricanes. One of the largest branches was ripped right off! It produced over 50 mangos each year from 2002 up to that point. The tree gave me 2 or 3 mangos the next year and hasn't produced since. In 2006, I began the task of trying to rehab the tree and bring it back to good health. After all, the mangos from this tree are the BEST I have ever had!

So, I ripped out the grass around the base and stretched out the base to just about the drip line. I placed a ring around the tree and applied several more pounds of dirt. I applied 6-6-6 fertilizer. This fertilizer was given to me at a local nursery. They insisted that it is specially made for our soil and for the purpose of providing necessary nutrients to new plants and nutrient defficient trees. I then applied red mulch over the soil.

Since that initial rehab job, I've fertilized it once a month. 6-6-6 throughout all of last year and 12-5-8 all of this year. I've applied liquid iron to the roots every four months. I've applied chelated citrus directly on the leaves about 4 times last year. I applied Liquid Copper Fungicide(LCP) a few times last year, but began applying LCP every week last month when I saw the leaves growing black and brown spots.

I also recently cut some dead and heavily diseased branches, so this is the best it has looked since the hurricane. I'm providing pics of the tree, trunk, and the leaves. Please let me know if I am on the right track or if there is anything I can do differently.

Thanks!

YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE BRANCH USED TO BE IN THIS PIC. IT'S SIDEWAYS

The tree is now looking FANTASTIC! I was amazed to see some flowers on the tree. I'm crossing my fingers to see if I get a few mangos this year. Either way, I'm quite sure that I will have more than I can handle next year!

Thanks for the run down on the work you have put into your mango tree.
I have 2 here that I really don't give that much attention to but now see I really have to change my ways to get them moving on.
My trees are 3 years old and only producing 3 fruits last year and don't look as lush in growth as your tree.

Yeah, it seems as though my efforts will not be in vain. I saw flowers for the first time in 3 years! It usually flowers around February..so, I didn't expect any this late in the year. I didn't get any mangos this year..but, I think I'll have a boatload come this time next year.

After applying LCF weekly for the last few months...all spots on leaves seem to have vanished. The tree is growing incredibly fast also..sprouting new leaves every day.

I've now slowed down on the LCF and applied pottasium about 3 weeks ago. Everything has been done according to the step by step process given to me by the nursery.

If only my citrus trees weren't giving me such a headache!
