Mango flowering heavy with no fruit set :(

 :-\ My Carrie is very healthy, flowering but the only mango with no fruit! What gives?
Oh and it did the same thing last year.

Cookie Monster:
The carrie is not precocious. Mine was roughly 5 years old before it really started to produce. It's still one of my favorite mangoes though. Last season's crop had an odd flavor - not sure what caused that.

Yeah, my Carrie is sort of similar.  Last year it flowered like crazy, but only set 5 or 6 fruit.  Planted right next to it is my Angie, which is smaller and 1 year younger,  the Angie set 20 or more.  Again this year, the Carrie flowered like crazy, but the set seems a bit sparse.  Hopefully I'll get 20 or more, we'll see..

Take solace in knowing that once the tree grows a little more it should be one of your more consistent, better producing, and most fungus resistant mangoes, not to mention a very manageable growth habit.

My Carrie is doing the same thing this year, blooms all over but in the end it looks like hardly any fruit has actually set. Last year it did the same and only had a handful of fruit and they had a funny taste.
