mangoes can be picked, when the inside is " butter " colour.
Up here in north QLD, once thee is blush, fruit can be picked in 4 weeks.

I think I have now answered my original question. I picked a mango when
it
had just started to redden, although still really hard. Now 8 days later
it
was ripe. Why "was"? I ate it and it was delicious!

Out now to pick the remaining green mangoes!

I have a small mango tree with a rapidly reducing number of mangos. The
mangoes are not yey ripe, but already the possums have eaten about three
quarters of the crop. The amngoes are reddening on the top.

Can they be picked at this stage, and left to ripen inside?

TIA
