Aaaahhhh he's soooooooo cuuuuuuuute help XD
Yay for fruiting mangos _ We now have two mango trees (one quite young, planted late last year or earlier this year, I forget, the other one is 17yo but very small, not sure if it's a dwarf or if its growth was stunted because it's probably shaded for slightly longer than it wants to be) so I hope at some point in the near future I will no longer have to fight the boys for the mangos XD
there is no fighting I usually have one and let them fight over the rest
Are the nephews old enough to remember that if it's not coming off easily it's not ready yet?
I asked J about the dropping fruit and his guess is underwatering or overfertilising as we had one year where our older tree dropped a lot of fruit so he upped its water rations the following year and we didn't lose any fruit then. He also said it's possible that if there's a lot of pollinators it could have put on more fruit than it could actually support.
