Carrie


Carrie The Carrie mango is a highly prized variety known for its rich, sweet flavor and compact growth habit. Originating from Florida, USA, the Carrie mango is a favorite among home gardeners and commercial growers alike due to its manageable tree size and consistent fruit production. The fruit is medium-sized, typically weighing between 12 to 16 ounces, and has a smooth, fiberless flesh that is deep orange in color. Its flavor is often described as intensely sweet with tropical notes, making it a popular choice for fresh eating, desserts, and smoothies.

The Carrie mango tree is a semi-dwarf variety, making it ideal for smaller spaces or container growing. It is known for its vigorous growth and high productivity, often yielding abundant crops even in less-than-ideal conditions. The tree is also relatively disease-resistant, particularly to Anthracnose , a common fungal disease that affects many mango varieties. This resistance, combined with its adaptability to various climates, makes the Carrie mango a reliable choice for growers in both tropical and subtropical regions.

Historically, the Carrie mango was introduced in the 1940s by
Lawrence Zill , a renowned horticulturist from Florida. It is believed to be a seedling of the Julie mango, a variety from the West Indies. Over the years, the Carrie mango has gained a loyal following due to its exceptional flavor and ease of cultivation. Its compact size and consistent performance have made it a staple in backyard orchards and a favorite among mango enthusiasts worldwide.
