I have been told that the Florida version of the tea shot hole borer is boring some mango's in our area so there may be a possibility that its California close relative may be liking your mango. Check for signs of drilling small cavities etc. This ambrosia beetle carries a branch killing fussarium. Just one possible explanation.
Do you have any pictures?
Your tree doesn't look too bad. The dropping of the fruit is normal, especially when the panicles are holding too much fruit. Sometimes smaller branches that are shaded out will naturally die back. Simon
Do you have a picture of the actual branches that are dying back. A picture of the entire branch as well as the transition from brown to green cambium will help. Are the leaves still attached to the dying branches?I agree with merce3 that the green stretchy tape is a bit tight. Simon
