Title: What is going on with my mango leaves?
Post by: JulianoGS on January 15, 2021, 02:30:45 PM

Hello again, my keitt mango tree has some black spots on some leaves.
Is this something that I should be concerned about?
The back of the leaves are fine.

Could this be anthracnose, bacterial black spot or fungus?
How can this be treated?

Should I pluck out the leaves with black spots?

I have been seeing something similar on a few leaves recently, the bottom side of the leaves looks like this:

The brownish bleeding around the spots look like anthracnose to me, so I’ve been plucking them whenever I see it. I take the leaves inside and throw them in with the regular garbage to mitigate the chances it spreads.
