Michelle starts with ... Please can somebody tell me why our baby mangos are splitting open?? I attached 2 photos. Not all fruits are affected yet but it seems that every day it gets worse! Is there anything I can do to stop this happening? What is the reason for it?

Wayne says... My brother inlaw is a mango farmer in Bowen and I think he waters two, maybe three times a year, mostly when they are shooting and forming fruit. Michelle, you should go get something to seal the cracks in the bark because disease can get in there, I've used just a water based paint when pruning but perhaps you might need something from the nursery for that. Michael, I don't think it matters how often you water as long as you don't over water, just keep the soil on the dry side of moist. Yes, Michelles trees are very advanced for her area. Mangoes mature from the tropics down, the Northern Territory is in full swing, the Burdekin will be almost starting and Bowen will start at the end of the month I'm in Mackay and I should pick early December, Bundaberg/ Brisbane after Xmas and you in Sydney, perhaps early February this coming year due to the weather being warmer. | About the Author Wayne Mackay QLD 23rd October 2009 3:58pm #UserID: 338 Posts: 908 View All Wayne's Edible Fruit Trees |

Ellen says... The time to pick is depend on your taste Bob. If you preferred to eat them ripe, then wait until it turn color slightly reddish to gold then pick. But mind you better put on the fruit net, at this phase you don't want the fruit bats to beat you to it. If you want to use it for salads then you can pick them now . | About the Author Ellen Fairfield 12th December 2009 9:26am #UserID: 1339 Posts: 309 View All Ellen's Edible Fruit Trees |

Wayne says... Keep the water up to them now that they are fruiting Bob, but not as much as Michelle has. I go along with Ellen, I'm going to start picking mine this afternoon, the flying foxes got 3 last night, gee they're good. They are still green but if I wait any longer the fruit flies will share with the foxes. They are mature so will ripen up fine, I'll post some pics later. | About the Author Wayne Mackay 12th December 2009 12:36pm #UserID: 338 Posts: 908 View All Wayne's Edible Fruit Trees |
