My trees also came down with the same disease a couple years ago in Lake worth, and lost every single fruit... this past winter as the fruit was forming I would spray it with C Pro 5000 I think it's about 62% copper, about every 10 days, and I sprayed the whole tree while I was at it.. I've got about a hundred fruit on one tree starting to get ripe, .. a few of the fruit did get the disease but as soon as I saw it happening I pick that fruit bagged and put my garbage can and set it off.. so this year looks like I'm going to have a very good year

Cookie Monster, do you see any larvae in the pulp?  In Brazil there are moth larvae that destroy soursop fruit, leaving large black marks on the surface.

I don't remember. I'll take a look.

So has this problem cleared up, with Copper, other fungicides, or bags?

Is there such thing as successful “organic” or “natural” treatment against Anthracnose ?

Yes it is called Soil Health.  Something that cannot be accomplished with colonial farm practices. 

When I have bought new Zills Mangos they almost always show signs of some sort of fungal disease.  I use a homemade foliar spray made from a fermented milk, Bokashi soldier fly leachate, biodynamic compost tea a humus tea and a cinch weed yeast tea all mixed and sprayed weekly.  I’ve noticed it can take up to a year before all signs of disease disappear.
