Results of Clamshell boxes to protect Mangoes from squirrel experiment

[weiss613]

I made a video and put it on YouTube. In addition which is not on the video, is that amazingly not a single Keitt on any of my 4 Keitt trees was attacked by squirrels and especially the naked ones that were left unboxed as a control.  I think somehow the boxes scare squirrels. They do reflect and “flash” light so maybe that’s the reason?

I wrote additional observations in the information box under this video on YouTube.

Thanks for the video and accompanying text.

>"taste bad from internal ripening around the pit... ripening on the tree and should be gross"

Is that generally true across varieties?
