Morning Harvest: Harum Manis Mango from My Own Tree

In the morning of 8 October 2025, I spent some time harvesting fruits from my self-planted Harum Manis mango tree at home. And managed to pick four lovely mangoes.

The heaviest weigh 565.5 gm. Followed by 456.8 gm, 446.3 gm and 206.3 gm.
The shape isn’t as curvy as those from Perlis, but that’s understandable. I only have one Harum Manis tree, and there are no other Harum Manis trees nearby. So, cross-pollination with other mango varieties might have influenced the shape. The environment here in Johor, with its different climate compared to Perlis, could also be a contributing factor.

Still, the fruits turned out beautifully. They’re sweet, fragrant, and have smooth, clean skin. Free from the usual sticky sap or blemishes. Friends who saw the pictures even complimented how neat and healthy they looked. That definitely made me feel proud. It feels like all the care, time, and effort I put into tending this tree have truly paid off.

Regardless of the shape, the taste and quality are satisfying. Nothing beats the joy of harvesting your own home-grown mangoes.

Until then, happy harvesting to all who grow their own fruits at home! 🌼🥭
