| This tree grows with sweet mangoes that are 30 foot high in my old house. When we originally moved in it didn't fruit, but when I moved out it did. I still have access to it and would love to find out what it is.

I'm not sure what kind of tree you have there, but it is not a mango tree. Here is a photo of a mango tree's leaves and fruit. Notice the difference?  |

| I'm sorry, I meant it grows next to my 30 foot sweet mango trees. Not that it has Mango trees. Longer version is we moved into this house with these old tall trees in the backyard. This particular tree never bore fruit or flower during the time I was there. When I moved out this year it decided to have some small yellow flowers and three sided seed pods form. |

| Looks like an Akee (Blighia sapida). Fruit tree but poisonous if over or under ripe so proper ID and education is advised before trying to eat it! |

| Oh wow! I think it is an Akee tree! I will definitely look into it more, but I dont think I will eat any. Too dangerous. |
