How to Harvest Mangos
- 1). Mark the calendar once the tree begins to flower. Fruit is ready from 100 to 150 days after the first flowers appear.
- 2). Touch the fruit with your fingers. The fruit should feel slightly pliable, like a soft peach. If the fruit is squeezable, it is ready for harvesting.
- 3). Put on a pair of gloves.
- 4). Grab the mango by the fruit.
- 5). Use a sharp knife to cut the mango at the stem about 3 to 4 inches from the fruit.
