Answer
Hi Turk,  Checked to see the life of a mango tree and do not think you have a problem that way.  The only thing that comes to mind is watering.  Florida has been in a very big drought for the last few years.  Mangos are tropical plants and love a good drink.  If the fruit is not growing that is what I think the problem is.  At one time it was reaching its water supply and since the drought very large trees were wilting as the water table was so low.  Hopefully you are getting some rain now here in FL and the fruit will begin to grow.  kathy
