Try making an artificial temperature zone by putting up a brick wall to
retain heat, or cover it somehow.
If you cant do this then say goodbye to your mango.
Sound like temperature is killing it.

Please look and give some advice - plant was at one time (3 years back)
showing
flowers and looking really good but now most of the leaves are like the

- please help if you can.
Watering is regular and copious from a bore on the property.. We have
also from
time to time used additives to make the soil accept the water rather
than just
run off the surface. The soil is on a sand base but it is well mixed
with mulch
from a rotary mulcher.

Mate, Just checked out your Lat/Long and at a rough guess, I would say
you are at an absolute minimum of 600-800 km south of where mangoes are
supposed to grow. Botanica's encyclopaedia of trees and shrubs put them
around Darwin and Cape York (zone 11), but I live in Queensland 300km
north of Brisbane and they grow just fine here (zone 10). Around
Carnarvon is the furthest south that mangoes are happiest growing. Even
considering what you have put into the soil etc, I would suggest that
your mango is just about ready to go to the great compost pile in the
sky. It annoys me that unscrupulous nurseries sell plants and trees
that are totally unsuited to the area. By the way, nice area you live
in - used work up in the Pilbara and after joining the RAAFwas based at
Pearce.
