Mango skin damaged, should I pick it now?
« on: May 15, 2022, 12:37:12 PM »
The Piva I grafted in last season didn't grow much, but it flowered around December and one fruit hung on. It's been "leaking" clear sap from around the stem for the last two weeks. I think it was getting close to pickable, but I didn't want to rush it (I was watching for the stem turn brown). Unfortunately, some critter or falling something damaged it just now:


I guess I pick it now, right? The ants & flies will be all after it now.
