My happy little mango tree is not so happy this latest flush. We've had a bunch of rain here recently in SW Florida, so I'm thinking the issue is fungal-related, but I'm used to anthracnose presenting itself as circular patches. There are three branches flushing, the center and right branches are most severely damaged, they are also the oldest flushings, the left branch flushed nearly a week after them and it looks fairly okay. Most-likely an external issue and not systemic, right??
My quandary is now do I take off those two damaged flushes? I was planning on tipping them/cutting out the center growth after this flush to encourage branching, my concern would be that I'm encouraging branching too close to the trunk, but I've been debating the idea. Anybody have advice on what they'd do?
