- 'Carrie' is one of our most popular mango varieties. It is a golden green mango that is soft and tender with melting, juicy flesh.
While 'Carrie' is an exceptional mango, it is difficult to know when to pick the fruit. It is easy to leave the fruit on the tree too long. Ripe fruit drop quickly and bruise easily.
In this detailed video, Chris will show you what to look for when picking 'Carrie' mangos. Signs of ripeness include brown stems, smooth skin, skin color changes, beads of sap and plumpness.
If you need more general information about 'Carrie' mango including its origins and uses for the fruit, check out our 'Carrie' variety video:

This helps a lot. I'm growing it and got my second crop last season. This season will use these tips. It's definitely different than other mangos.
Love these videos. Thanks for making this after my request on the original video! I've found that even if you pick them a little too early they'll eventually ripen but this was very helpful. Plumpness, smoothness, stem age, sap and color basically.
Thank you again!
Picking a little earlier is especially good for shipping.
Thanks for the suggestion! It seems that a lot of people found this video helpful.
I guess it is kind of randomly asking but does anybody know a good site to watch new series online ?
@Armando Cassius flixportal :D
@Mathias Uriel thank you, signed up and it seems to work :) I really appreciate it!!
@Armando Cassius glad I could help =)
Though I like Carrie at all stages of ripeness, I prefer to pick them "mature green" once they fill out and at the first sign of a color break. When picked early and allowed to ripen off the tree they are firmer and have more of a sweet tart flavor like a Dot. So if you have people who think they are too mushy, pick them mature green
Tasting mangos at different levels of ripeness is good advice for all mango varieties...
Ohhhh Yeahhhh Baby! One of my favorites of all the mangos varieties. This one can be eaten green with vinegar, serrano pepper, garlic and a tablespoon of seasalt marinate. YUMMMMM
One hand. Picking like a boss.
Please slice them open so we can see what they look like and how juicy they are in different stages of ripeness
Thanks for the suggestion... we will try to include in a future video
I am so jealous. Always loved them but never had the space for growing now I'm thinking bout using pots.
Why not...I have 15 in the pots...beautiful and love
Thanks Chris
Very helpful video.
last time I came there to the garden, I bought so many different varieties of mangoes. Too bad I didn't get a chance to tour the garden.
It's been very difficult to have enough time and energy for tours during mango season
It would be helpful to show some fruit which is unripe, not ready to pick, but this is still very helpful, thanks.
Good suggestion... will try to do that on future videos
Hi Chris, I really needed this video for my Carrie. Would these signs be the same for all/most other mango varieties? I'm thinking at least Angie, being a Carrie descendant. BTW, thanks again for all the help when my wife and I picked up the PPK and Sweet Tart a couple of months ago!

The concepts are the same for most mango varieties. PPK is easy to decide when to pick because color almost always is the only indicator you need. Angie has some bumpiness to ripe fruit, so that would be a bit different.
Are the sap beads the beads of clear crusty sap emanating from pores in the skin or the dark vertical stripes starting from the stem and heading towards the bottom of the mango.
Thanks for the video, very helpful. How old are these trees? Are carrie mango tree considered dwarfs?
Our 'Carrie' mango trees are almost 20 years old. 'Carrie' is a small tree, but not a dwarf tree.
@@TrulyTropical Thanks. How tall are they?
Hi Chris, Are the guidelines you mention the same for other varieties like Glen or coconut cream?
very very helpful, ive learnt sooo much form this channel. everyone should share
Hi. Where and how can I buy these mangoes? Where are you located to come see and buy different varieties of mangoes?
Thank you
What time of year is Carrie typically ready to pick? It’s early June and my Carries are still quite small. My Glenns show that plump, stretched skin appearance so I think they are ready. My Kents are already huge but I know they are late July at the earliest. Thank you 🙏. Michael
How old are these trees? Thanks for the video!
great video ... thanks
great video!
Thanks! I'm glad it was helpful
Why do you cut the stem long when picking them?
Many of our Carrie customers prefer it that way.
Do you have lemon zest mango trees
Yes... we have a couple 3-gallon Lemon Zest

Have you ever try to make fresh salad with young mango leave? it was awesome. try it.
Do you use only the young mango leaves, or do you mix other greens with them?
Do you use only Indochinese mango leaves?
Sounds very interesting!
Informative but not as helpful as it could be. For me, if you had cut and critiqued each of the many combinations of indicators as you picked them (for flavor, texture, over-ripeness...) THEN i would have the information that I need. I am a Northern grower (Michigan). My Carrie has 6 lovely fruit now facing a snowy outdoors thru my patio door window. i do not want to waste a single one by picking too early or too late...
Wait for the snow ❄️ to melt?
