I live in Egypt where the weather is currently winter with highs of around 17 degrees and lows of 7 or 10. I have planted a mango tree from seed about 3 months ago. It has been growing very well in my balcony where there is a lot of sun. Lately, however, the leaves have started developing bronze like color at the tip edges of the leaf that works its way inward to occupy the whole leaf. I am wondering is this a disease or is it just a natural wilting because of the winter? Thanks a lot. Hala
We did not receive the image of your tree.
It could be sun scald on the leaves or even a fungus.
Make sure the leaves are not splashed with water while watering the tree.

Neem Oil can be used to treat the leaves if the problem persists.

My mango trees are burnt by forest fire. So the leaves are yellowing but not falling down. I would like to know how to care or manage the mango trees.
I would provide optimum care while the tree recovers.
Pruning the dead and damaged parts of the tree should help the tree focus it's energy to the living parts of the tree.
You will need to wait it out to see if your tree can recover from such an event.

I have a mango tree which gave fruit for a few years. But for the last two years it is not giving any fruit and it's not even flowered. What can I do to make it fruit?
There are quite a few reasons why a mango tree will stop flowering and fruiting all of a sudden. Two common disease causes are anthracnose and powdery mildew, but they have very obvious symptoms. If you haven't seen symptoms of disease, it could be a problem of cold - if mangoes get too cold they just won't flower.
The most likely cause too much nitrogen. Mangoes have extensive root systems and they'll leach excess nitrogen from other parts of the garden. Adding phosphorous or bone meal to the soil should help correct this.
This article provides a lot more information about each of these possible causes and should help you narrow down the source of your problem: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/mango/mango-tree-not-producing.htm
What is the reason for the mangoes showing white patches when we cut the mangoes open? Is it because of excess heat or because of climate, or is it that no proper pesticide is given or no proper grafting is done? What is the reason? Because of this problem every year, we cannot sell our mangoes to the clients, and our business is not expanding. Please suggest ways to help with this problem.
The third and fifth pictures look very much like a disease is affecting your fruits, possibly caused by a fungus. I am not sure what the disease is, but if you provide some more information, it might help us figure it out.
Where are you located? Are there any spots, color changes or other problems with the leaves? These can help you determine what the problem is. Also, do the white patches appear when the fruit is still on the tree, or only after you harvest it (postharvest)?
I'm not sure where you are located, but if there is an agricultural extension service or agricultural university near you, it is a good idea to contact them. They will know more about the common problems in your area and how to treat them.
