I have sampled Carrie in the DR and fell in love with them. I am currently in Florida, and purchased a few Carrie from 3 different sources, and well, quality was varied, and none were as good as I have had in the past. washed out, off taste, only one came a little close to what I remembered, and that was on the top half of the fruit. maybe its the rain, or how they were picked. Imagine if these were the first Carrie's I ever sampled, I would be in the "hate" group for sure. not sure if I would want to plant such a temperamental fruit in my yard though. one that is good some times, and only if picked and eaten in such a narrow window of opportunity, if I had room for dozens of trees maybe, but I do not.
