Mango Identification?

[chad6159]

This tree was at my house when I bought it and I am trying to figure out what variety it is. Can any of you help?

This is the first time it has fruited (after I pruned it last year) so I have not tasted any mangos on it yet. Although a couple mangos should be ready in the next few days!

The tree and the fruits look a lot like my Glenn. If they taste peachy, then it's definitely a Glenn.

Here is my Glenn:

Glenn is one of the best smelling mangoes even before you cut into it.  If it smells devine it's probably a Glenn.  No expert but Glenn would be on my short list of possibles.  Glenn is a popular often recommended variety & commonly carried by the big box stores.  One whiff should tell you.  The fruit also looks a little like Edward which is a light bearer. Carrie is another possible.  Squam could tell you right away if he sees your post.

Looks like Carrie to me. Squam would definitely know for sure. He identified my Rosigold in 2 seconds.

That would be awesome if it was a Glenn. I have a Hayden already which to me taste a lot like Carrie, just has a bit of fiber compared to the carrie.

The home owner before me said "They are the good kind" when I asked what variety they were haha. He was Korean and did not speak much English. So far he is not wrong.

Squam where are you?!

I agree that it could also be a Carrie. I do also have a Carrie tree and the flushes and fruits look similar, except that my carries don't get as yellow as my glenns.

Shape does not look like Carrie nor does that coloration.  If a Carrie was that yellow on the tree (I will ignore the rosy blush), fruit would already be very soft and beyond its usual insipid taste.  Would also fall to the ground just by lookung at it.

[chad6159]

The yellow one is slightly soft and will most likely be falling off in the next few days if that helps at all.

If its soft pick it

If its soft, it will not last a few days on the tree.

It has a very slight give to it. For my hayden I always wait until they drop from the tree and then they are perfectly ripened to how I like them.

You let them hit the ground?  If so, not good...unless you like overripe drops.

[chad6159]

My trees are not tall so it doesnt hurt them in anyway. Dont seem over ripe to me, but what do I know. My haydens are nice and dark orange in the middle, super juicy and soft (but not mushy) when they hit the ground.

I think leaving them on the tree as long as you can gives them more flavor. To me what is the point in picking it, then leaving it on the counter 2-3 days to ripen more when you could just leave it on the tree those extra couple days. My haydens gets super bring orange/pink those last few days and I think taste better. Could just be me.

The yellow mango in the picture barely has any mango smell to it, you really have to search for it.

If that makes anyone feel better about me leaving it on the tree still. You have to press on it pretty firmly to get it to give slightly.

Dont really care how it smells (you dont pick a mango based on smell).  "Tree ripe" does not mean soft and ready to eat.  That fruit is tree ripe and should be picked and let sit on counter (not in refrigerator).  Should be ready to eat in a day or two.

Thanks but all I am looking for is an identification.

[bsbullie]

Thanks but you do what you do, Ill keep doing what I do.

All I am looking for is an identification not to be talked down to just because how I like my mangos.

Then call it whatever you want, it really doesnt matter.

I love it when people ask for help, they are given help but play armchair expert, know better and do what they want.

Enjoy you fruit...

Here are my Carries. Size is similar as well as the yellow coloring; however, I have never seen
a pink blush on mine. The second photo is for comparison of the leaves.

All I am saying is how I like my mangos. Just because you like them different doesnt not make me wrong.

I am the armchair expert? I never said you were wrong, like you are saying I am wrong.

I was not asking for help on how to tell when they are ripe. This is not the first time I have had a mango and have been eating my mangos like that for years. I have tried it your way and I think they think they taste better when left on the tree longer. Nothing to get upset about.

Again, all I am asking for an identification.

Yeah I am with you and others when they said they have not seen a Carrie with the pink on it. I have just seen carries with green and yellow.

If it is a glenn that would be awesome as I love the taste of them.
