Mango Tree (not as expected) Question
« on: June 21, 2018, 02:26:49 PM »
Hey everyone.  I planted a Beverly mango about two years ago for a late season variety.  The tree is now about 8ft tall with a 4-5 in trunk.  This year is my 1st real crop, quite heavy in fact.  The tree is dropping fruit early and I decided to cut some open. 

All of the early fruit I have cut have tons of fiber and very stringy, when the variety is supposed to be fiberless.  i am trying to determine why the fruit has so much fiber? 

Thanks in advance.

Pictures?

Fruit can develop more fiber than usual if ripened too early.

Beverly should be a late mango. This is early season for mango. Maybe wait a month or so till the first one that holds drops.
