We do need a picture.  I am not picturing that in my mind.  Don't think I have seen such.

The lines on this mango come from it’s condo heritage. One of its parents is an old lady in Hallandale Florida who is known for having the worst varicose veins in the neighborhood!!!

We have some black splotchy coloration on young branches of our Carrie mango. It does not come off when I try scrubbing or scraping it so I do not suspect it to be sooty black mold. Only on the branches, not leaves. No scale or other pests to be found. What exactly is this, should we be worried and how can we treat it?
Thanks!

Hi guys! Any clue what damage we are seeing here? They’ve taken full sun for two years now so I don’t believe it’s sun related (although this is first flush so maybe that plays a roll)z

Looks like Powdery Mildew.

I am seeing this in my new flushes in Carrie, interestingly some branch flushes don’t have this. This is leading me to believe its a chemical burn or a deficiency but i want to be sure. No recent fertilizer applied but my wife has raised beds around where she puts topping of dried horse manure with mulch. The tree is not irrigation daily and looks otherwise healthy. Had 30% flowers this year and around 15 mangoes reached golf ball size then turned yellow and dropped all but one. Any idea if this is a deficiency vs burn vs pest?

I don't recognize that interveinal bronzing.

The dessicated, turned-up tips appear to have been killed by Powdery Mildew.

Some of the green leaves are showing deficiency of Manganese.

Thanks Har. I will do the Micronutriets foliar spray asap. The bronze intervenial discoloration is a mystery.

Are these leaves normal for my LZ? Some of the new leaves are coming out twisted/curled + have slight browning/yellowing at the very tips. Some leaves also show a little bit of browning on the edges of the leaves as well. The newer sprouts at the bottom are perfectly shaped & colored compared to the leaves at the top. I recently did a micro-nutrient spray and a iron soil drench, but it hasn't been that long enough to show any effects. I also recently fertilized with a weak fish & kelp emulsion mix. This LZ is also planted in a heavy clay soil that has been amended with a potting mix. 

PS: Ignore the red mulch!

Damage on mango new growth in the Spring, is almost always due to Powdery Mildew and/or wind.

Here's a weird one. This is my sole Ice Cream Mango from the first bloom.

There had been a second mango on the tree that fell off when quite young--would it touching this mango cause this?

The spot is soft but the mango is firm. The mango sap smelled normal, and there's no detectable off odors coming from that spot.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi, everyone! I just realized that there's a whole thread on problems for mangos! This is great :) Please forgive me for posting my question again. Just wanted to confirm if the cause of the black spots on this nam doc mai that I received recently is anthracnose. If so, should I go ahead and spray it with copper to keep it from spreading? I'd appreciate your wisdom, as I'm new to growing mangos. I'm in Southern California. Thank you!

I planted an Angie mango tree 5 years ago. It has produced well the past two years, always very clean fruit with nice color. This year several of the fruit are splitting but not in the star shape typical of BBS. The leaves appear to be healthy. I don't believe that excessive rain is a factor. Any ideas?

Fliptop, my only guess on that is hail damage, or from a thrown rock.

gychang.  It could be the start of Powdery Mildew, or it could be fertilizer burn, such as from urea.  Many soil mixes have urea, and fresh manures and partially-cured manure composts have urea, and urine has urea--- such as dog pee.

Think it's too late to spray with copper?  Also, is there an alternative you guys know of?  I live in Hawaii and it's upwards of 86-87 a lot of days here so i'm concerned about sun damage after copper.
