There is a lot I didn't know about mangoes. When former War Corespondent Tad Bartimus wrote a column that was carried once a week in the Tacoma, WA newspaper, I would go out of my way to get a copy of the newspaper on the days they carried her column. Then, I moved farther away, so looked up her writings via computer. In one article she wrote of the mangoe tree near their house coming down in a storm. She wanted cabinets made from the wood, but had a hard time finding anyone who was experienced with using mangoe wood because it was so toxic that most could not even touch it. Hard to comprehend how such wonderful fruit could come from such toxic wood.
