Help Identifying My Mango Tree!

[WhitH]

Took some more photos of a tree that was discussed recently in the "earliest mangos this year" thread. Tree was purchased as a Glenn, with Pine Island Glenn tag.
Harry and some others seemed to think it might be Rosigold. Any comments appreciated in helping ID this one. Photos taken today.

Here are some photos with ripe fruit. I included a Hass avocado for size comparison. Harry and others, what does it look like?
The taste is hard to describe, I found it quite sweet (but not sickly sweet) and a little on the strong/resinous side, which is not how I remembered it tasting previously. No fiber at all...

I'm sticking with Rosigold as the best probable ID.

Definitely rosigold with what looks like soft-nose.

Hello, I was wondering if you could help with identifying this mango variety.  This is a tree that in the back yard of a home we moved into a year ago in South Florida.  The tree itself has to be about 25 ft tall.  The picture is of the mango as it currently looks.  They are no more than about 4 to 5 inches big and will remain that way based on production I saw last year.

Looks like Zill or Bombay.

Thank you!  The more I compare it to pictures i've seen online, the more I think it is Bombay.

A picture of the tree itself would also be helpful.  What did the fruit look like last year when ripe (coloration) ?

Going by fruit size would be another seedling tree. Which can taste very good sometimes with the only (slight) drawback is fiber around the seed but not throughout the entire fruit

Yeah, I am not sold on it being a Bombay.

[zands]

Yeah, I am not sold on it being a Bombay.

This tree might be 8 years old.

I see loads of green mango trees where I am and most have to be seedlings. Most people I talk to are unaware of the seedling vs grafted differences. There are lots of seedling trees out there with good to excellent mangoes

This tree might be 8 years old. No one would have planted a Bombay back then unless the owner was of Caribbean heritage. If this was the case then......

Why is that? Bombay has existed in Florida for many decades now.

My mistake! I was thinking of the fibrous "East India" mango which a Caribbean person would be inclined to plant. I changed my post. Thanks on that!

[rivers001]

I did not get any pictures of the fruit last year as it ripened.  I will certainly take some soon as they start to change and post them on here.  Thank you all for the feedback.

Need and ID please...

Possibly Tommy Atkins...

I would say that Rob is right on the money.  The beautiful, yet much maligned, Tommy Atkins mango.........if only it tasted as good as it looked.

Harry

I do have to agree that ripening Tommy Atkins fruits are one of the prettiest and most colorful mango around. I agree with Harry... It's such a shame that looks and taste don't go hand in hand in this case...Such a waste of a really good looking mango...looks are so deceiving in this case

Here's another mango tree with its fruit up for ID. I'm pretty sure I know what this but want to ask everyone without giving my opinion so no one's answer is influenced by what I say!

This is another of those that it is much easier to say what it is not, than to says what it is for sure.  A cut open fruit would be helpful. In the running would be Carrie, Alphonso, or, possibly,  but not as likely,  Fairchild or perhaps even some others.

Harry

[WhitH]

Ok, I will cut open the fruit and post photo later.

[WhitH]

Here's the inside. I'm not sure if the photos are rendering the color properly, but it was definitely orange colored inside, and very juicy as you can see. Pretty soft and I think a little overripe. Very sweet and quite a strong taste which I'm not so good at describing.

[HMHausman]

The fruit looks very Carrie-ish to me.  The tree shape is somewhat different than what I am used to seeing but i am going with Carrie. But something is tugging at my brain telling me that I am off base here.....but my brain isn't responding with any other conclusion.

Harry

[WhitH]

Well Carrie is what I was guessing too. The fruit seemed a little small to me for Carrie but it's been a long time since I have had a Carrie. Before cutting the fruit it had a strong fragrance which reminded me of pineapple and coconut.

Was there a slight bit of fiber in the fruit?  It looks to have a bit of what I would call "unobjectionable fiber", similar to a Haden.

[WhitH]

Perhaps a very small amount of "unobjectionable" fiber, but really you wouldn't even notice a trace of fiber eating it.
