We have four types of mangoes. While most tolerate rain this one that you see in the photo has succumbed to rain. We harvested these after a couple of rains as they had not matured till then. In the good old days there was fixed season for everything and even farmers these days are confused as to when they should be adding fertizers to their crops as they cannot add when it rains heavily. It just gets washed out There is nothing we can do but just move on. Grateful atleast the other three trees could tolerate this erratic weather Have you been adversely affected because of errativ weather?

It is frustrating when we pick up fruits and they are rotten.

@allknowing You cannot absolutely guess that there is a worm inside the cherry if you do not cut in half. No signs outside.

That looks like a an over ripe mango you have there. I am just not sure about that black thing in the middle what it is. An over ripe mango doesn't taste good anymore.

Once the worm attacks the mango rots. It is not fully ripe

@allknowing That is really bad. I had never seen one in our place that looks like that. I see only overripe ones and it does not really come to a point that worms have eaten it. Those that fell on the trees would definitely be consumed by worms.

It’s a shame they have been affected so much.
