I'm loving Chris from Truly Tropical's YouTube channel. Great information here. Latest upload: How to know when to pick your Carrie Mango

In a nutshell look for (in no particular order):

1. Color change- from green to yellow
2. Smooth skin
3. Plump fruit
4. Browning on the stem
5. Sap lines/marks

Doesn't have to be all the above. But should be at least a couple.

-Hopefully others can share if these tips also play out for those in Carrie's family tree (Angie, etc. )

I have eaten two from my tree so far showing only yellow "shoulders" and slight softening of the skin. The inside fruit was delicious but areas were already starting to visibly soften to a mushier consistency.
