Unusually shaped mango fruitlet
« on: April 16, 2021, 10:38:27 PM »
Being close to the ocean in southern California it's tough to find mangoes that fruit well here, a lot of them get plenty of fungus and other issues. This "Thom Pi Kan" mango is one of hundreds of fruitlets setting on the tree. Others that are doing good this season are "Edwards", "Dot", "Orange Sherbert", "Sweet Tart", and "Peggy", all of the other varieties are either not blooming or got real affected by powdery mildew.

Yeah, plenty but I think the mildew attacked it after the fruits got some size. The mildew on some of the varieties is real bad.
