Mango trees in east Hawaii can be inconsistent and seldom yield a large harvest every year. Too much rain during the flowering period can limit the production. Another reason for few mangoes one year is that the previous year produced a bumper crop. The year after a great harvest, the trees rest and produce few if any fruit.
One solution is to plant early, mid season and late season varieties. Correct fertilization is also very important.
