    When mango flowers fall off without producing fruit, it is often a result of disease or of the other problems discussed in this article:

    Mangos are self-fertile, so a second mango tree is not needed for pollination. However, the presence of pollinators is important for fruit production. Mangos are pollinated by flies and to a lesser extent by wild bees, other insects, and the wind.

    If the trees are still young, then you can transplant them further away. If they are more mature, you can transplant them but it is a little more tricky. It is good to keep in mind that with most species of trees, roughly 80 percent of that tree is actually underground. What you see above the ground can be as little as 20 percent of the tree.

    This has a few causes. Overwatering will cause this, as well as lead to root infections, which will also cause this. The next usual suspect is over-fertilization.

    This is very normal. That is actually quite thick for a mango that young! You can top them when they reach about half of the desired height. This will promote branching.

    This really depends on the type of seed that you planted. If this was from a mango tree from a supermarket, then it may never be as sweet as the parent. If this is a known variety that you planted from a graft, or known mango farm, then Sulfur can help increase the sweetness of fruit.

    It is best not to have a tree of that size closer than 20 feet from a house. Even if it's full grown, the roots could still keep growing and potentially damage the house if it's too close. Farther than 20 feet is okay.

    The only thing you can do is wait. It is likely that the tree will come back, but this is going to have to be a natural process. There is something called thrive alive b1 for plants. This can help recovery but there is little that you can do beyond this point other than let it recover.
