Mango starting to ripen in So.Cali
« on: August 21, 2013, 02:46:30 PM »
This morning when walking around the yard, I found 2 Glenn mango on the ground.1 is soft to touch and the other is still firm but has that ripe coloration.Here is a few pics...

Here is a pic of some of the fruit still on the tree.The other one coloration is almost ready.This tree has about 30+ fruit.This tree is also from Laverne Nursery.

Pics of the fruit, Very sweet with no fiber at all!!!!!

Are they still sweet? A lot of times when they are overripe they tend to get flat. Either way, I will not say not to any mango. Enjoy.

Mangoes starting in California
Mangoes ending in South Florida.
My last 22 mangoes are Kent, Keitt, Gold Nugget (aka Golden Nugget) will be ripe within 20 days and the critters (4 legged) eyeballing them may get to some first. Since mangoes are getting rare this time of year I will hose down a bitten mango to sanitize it. Cut out the bitten parts and eat the rest. Others will take them too and eat them.  The critters are good at picking out the almost ripe ones
