Description:
Our Carrie mango tree in a 65-gallon pot is a mature, fruiting-ready showstopper. Originating in South Florida and cherished for decades, Carrie produces small-to-medium-sized mangoes that pack a flavor punch—often described as spicy, citrusy, and intensely aromatic. The flesh is ultra-creamy and 100% fiberless, melting in your mouth and winning over mango enthusiasts with every bite.
Carrie trees remain relatively small (10–15 feet), making them a perfect choice for urban gardens, tight spaces, or edible landscapes where flavor matters most. This 65-gallon specimen offers strong root development, an established canopy, and potential for immediate fruiting, especially when planted in spring or summer.
Care Tips for South Florida:
-
Sun: Carrie thrives in full, direct sun. Give it the spotlight with at least 6–8 hours of sunlight daily to promote heavy flowering and flavor-rich fruit.
-
Watering: Water deeply once or twice per week during establishment. Once mature, allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings to prevent overwatering.
-
Soil: Needs excellent drainage. Enrich native soil with compost, worm castings, or pine bark fines to support microbial life and root health.
-
Fertilization: Feed with a balanced, organic mango fertilizer every 6–8 weeks during the growing season. Add micronutrients like magnesium and sulfur for flavor enhancement.
-
Pruning: Carrie responds well to pruning. Thin branches after harvest to maintain shape, airflow, and ease of harvest.
-
Spacing: Plant at least 10–15 feet from structures or other trees to allow proper canopy development over time.
