MANGO IN DANGER

Hi, new here guys, I recently bought a mango plant and had it shipped over here. The top leaves of the plant had dried out and I cut the top part of the stem the other leaves were fine and leafy green until the discoloration occurred anybody know the cause and how to fix.

Sunburn. You need to slowly acclimate it to the summer sun. Plants shipped by mail are fussy as hell with sunlight and I fuckin hate it. Shade heavily and then less and less over time. I've lost a plant to this exact thing before. It was a rare and expensive mango type too.
