Carrie Mango grown in So.Cal
« on: July 27, 2012, 08:39:39 PM »
Anybody growing Carrie Mango in So.Cali and having a second set of fruits?...FYI my Carrie Mango has been on the ground since 2009. Last year it had about 8 fruit set and this year it has 6 fruits set about half the size of a coke can and now it is setting fruits again and having growth flush at the same time.
Here is a few pics...

Looks great!  Multi harvests in one season.  What more could you ask for?

Hey ant21, I have a Nam Doc Mai that flowered heavily about 2 weeks ago.  My NDM is very small, only about the size of your Carrie.  It has several very small mangoes on it right now but I will pluck them all off when they are the size of a marble.  How was the flavor and sweetness on your Carrie?

The carrie from last year was very good, taste better than store bought ataulfo. Only negative thing about carrie is it's
stay green when ripe. But carrie is very good and grows well in So.Cali..

Carrie is a very average tasting mango. I has 5 on my tree last year. The problem was that my little tree paid for it. The tree grows very slow so I'm going to shut it down for two years so it can hold a decent crop without suffering. Here is a pic of my tree recovering from last year's thrashing.

So nice to see.  :)  I have a Carrie that's just starting to do its second growth flush since I moved to Iceland (!!!  :)  !!!).  It's probably roughly about the size of yours and I'm pretty sure it'll be bigger than yours after the growth flush.  Think I should try to force it to flower, or try to grow it up more?  Since it's indoors, I have full control over its life cycle.
