Cracking mangoes

[TomS]

Hi all,

I new to this forum and appreciate any help.
I have a mango tree for several years and this is the first year it finally give some considerable amount of fruit.
In past couple of weeks however, many of the fruits began to crack and fall after several days.



What could be causing this?
Thank you

Hello @TomS , welcome to the forum

Thanks you both,

It's not raining at all now, but the temperature may fluctuate much between the dry hot days and the nights.
Could it be water imbalance, as stated in one of the attached posts?
Currently I water the tree twice a week, especially since it might become very hot during the day -
Should I provide the tree with more / less water?

I grow 14 different mango trees (4~ 8 years old) in ground 6 in the pot. When they are young some variety Crack skin after several days of rain. My Rosigold used to cracks all the time. It gets better when they get older

My yard is not really that big and Most of my mango trees are regular size trees but I made it kind of dwarf also I grew very close each other(8-12feet apart). As a results it only produce about 50-200 each trees but I am happy about results.
