  1. They aren't burnt colours, it is brown because that is the new growth, have mangoes in the backyard and watch them all the time, but at the moment I'm being driven batty by the fruit bats (flying foxes) they eat the mangoes or just nibble at them (but I think thats a possum) and then they drop them all over the ground, you cant cover the tree cause its too big and they are a protected species, I wish they would learn how to clean up after themselves, I'm out there every morning picking up between 20 to 30 mangoes, you cant eat them even if its only a claw mark in them cause of the lissa virus, so, on I go picking them up day after day, the season will end soon, have a fridge full, giving them away to all and sundry, but its been a very good season, hope that helps, Goodluck and goodeating!!!


  2. They enjoy it....., any thing................

  3. idk they are getting 2 much sun??

  4. Bacterial canker disease of mango, caused by a bacterium.  The disease causes fruit drop (10 to 70 percent, yield loss (10 to 85 percent) and storage rot (5 to 100 percent). Many commercial cultivars of mango including Langra, Dashehari, Amrapali, Mallika, and Totapuri are susceptible to this disease.

  5. A young man goes dropping..as in dropping dead?  Usually if a young man drops dead, it's because he's been murdered.
