mango tree setting fruit in NY! is coloration okay?

[plantlover13]

Hello all! My Pickering has set some fruit! However, the fruit looks like it had red specks? Is that OK?

juvenile Pickering fruit can be almost completely red, then turns green and has predominate red speckles around the shoulder of the fruit when it is near ripe or ripe.

Thanks! I thought it was done sort of fungus b or something. What do you think are the chances of it holding a fruit to maturity?

Not sure that is actual coloration or not.  I am leaning toward some type of blemish/fungus/damage but really too hard to tell at this point.

There is always a chance it could hold but there are many variables that could cause the fruit to drop/abort.  If it is going to hold to maturity, you will have to bring it inside at some point as the time to maturity, in your climate, could take 5+/- months.  Once brought in, it will need to stay warm and under good lighting.  A cool/cold garage or a "living room" will most likely not be sufficient.
