Here's a fruit from a seedling tree I have. The seed was from Carrie and the tree is about 10 years old as far as I remember. The tree has fruited for the last several years, but the crop has been larger than usual. Odd, since, other than Phillipine/Carabao mangoes and a relative few others, the crop has been pretty disappointing. Anyway, this fruit runs almost 2-2.5 times the size of a Carrie. It has flavors similar to Carrie ( a very good thing for some and not so good for others) It has no fiber, but does seem to be firmer fleshed than Carrie is. It does not have quite the amount of resinous twang that Carrie has, so for you that don't like Carrie, it might be less objectionable. Here are some shots:

Wow, Harry - a star is born!

When you say seedling, do you mean YOU planted a seed from one of your
Carrie trees and this resulted?

What a monster!!

(In a good way) The flesh looks so richly coloured and fiberless! Any plans on naming this giant offspring of Carrie? Has it gained your approval to be elevated to the "top tier" mangoes? I'm so curious!!

Since it's a Carrie seedling and Harry grew it,I think Harry should call it a "Harrie" let the suggestions begin.

Sleepdoc · « **Reply #5 on:** June 07, 2012, 01:59:55 PM »

Sounds and looks awesome ! I am a huge Carrie fan, so this is really cool

bsbullie · « **Reply #6 on:** June 07, 2012, 02:03:02 PM »

Well, you all, or at least some of ou, know how I feel...why couldn't you have chucked a Dot or Edward seed in the ground

puglvr1 · « **Reply #7 on:** June 07, 2012, 02:05:15 PM »

I'm one of those that don't like Carrie...but maybe I might like this one...or not? But it is HUGE!! Thanks for the pictures! From the picture it looks very good...

OH Bendersgrove...I second the name "Harrie"...I love it!!

Harry, are you going to be selling grafted Harrie mangoes?

Jackfruitwhisperer69 · « **Reply #9 on:** June 07, 2012, 02:26:28 PM »

Hi Harry,

The mango sure looks YUMMY

Congrats

I also agree ''Harrie'' sounds slick...Good one Benders

Jsvand5 · « **Reply #10 on:** June 07, 2012, 03:27:31 PM »

That's pretty awesome. Carrie is one of my favorites. I might be bugging you for budwood from this one when I am down.

Cookie Monster · « **Reply #11 on:** June 07, 2012, 03:43:10 PM »

Ohh my gosh, Harry! That sounds like a top notch mango! Maybe you can just give it a Zill's number name -- X31-8 :-).

MarinFla · « **Reply #12 on:** June 07, 2012, 03:58:07 PM »

Or H- followed by your numerical date of birth

Along with a creative, catchy name...how about Sepuku (the Japanese term for Hari Kari aka Harikari aka Hara Kiri aka Harrie Carrie aka Harry Carrie) ?

PS what it the growth habit like....I could graft a piece of budwood onto my Carrie tree!! Sign me up

Tim · « **Reply #15 on:** June 07, 2012, 04:23:41 PM »

Great breeding work, Harry.
1st the Maha seedling, now this? Sign me up for scions, kind Sir!

Don't know if the name Harry-Carrie or Hari-Kari is the best mango name...

Hari-Kari ----
Main Entry: hara-kiri
Pronunciation: "har-i-'kir-E, -'kar-E
Function: noun
Etymology: Japanese harakiri, from hara belly + kiri cutting
Date: 1840
1 : ritual suicide by disembowelment practiced by the Japanese samurai or formerly decreed by a court in lieu of the death penalty
2 : SUICIDE 1b

I like the name Harry for a mango-its my son's name and he is an awesome kid

Seems to be a bit more upright in its growth habit, but a pretty manageable growth rate. I'll post a picture of the tree later.

Thanks for all the name ideas. I am giving them careful consideration. Will be happy to supply budwood to anyone that wants it. But it is a pick up only at the present time, as I have limted time right now to cut, clean, ship, etc.

Harry

How about calling it the H-Bomb mango? Has a deliciously orange interior

behlgarden · « **Reply #19 on:** June 07, 2012, 05:55:52 PM »

What a wonderful mango.

Name it "Harrie Carrie"

Tim · « **Reply #20 on:** June 07, 2012, 06:13:21 PM »

No offense to "Harrie Carrie" but that sounds really old and stale

Plus, it reminds me too much of the "lovable loser" Cubs

I like the name Harry used in the title "Super Carrie"

Harry,
Congratulation! Nice looking mango...and it is a bit over 2 pounds= 908 grams + 43 = 951 grams....almost 1 kilogram of mango! Good job!
