Nepal: Young Mango Fruits In Early Growth Stage On Tree
Young mango fruits are seen in their early growth phase on the branches of a mango tree in Kathmandu, Nepal, on July 6, 2026. The fruits are small, firm, and green after the flowering and pollination stage, attached by slender stems and surrounded by dense green foliage. In Nepal, mango production is an important seasonal fruit crop, widely cultivated in the Terai and lower hill regions, with peak fruiting typically occurring from May to July during the summer season. This stage is crucial in the mango growing cycle, where fruits are sensitive to weather conditions and natural fruit drop before reaching full maturity. (Photo by Safal Prakash Shrestha/NurPhoto)
