Fruit Development, Ripening & HarvestWhy are mangoes sometimes picked with a length of stalk attached?
Retaining stalk at picking allows sap release to be managed later at a prepared station rather than over the fruit in the tree. The correct arrangement depends on the harvesting and packing system. Keep projecting stalks from scratching neighboring fruit while moving the lot. Train crews in the complete sequence, including where and how the remaining stalk will be removed.
