I had this for the first time this year. It was the best mango I ate all year.

We're adding more to the grove!

I started to harvest this mango from my tree two years ago, hands down the best mango ever with the complex flavors of Hayden/Carrie and Turpentine. You will never be able to buy it in a market. It is a hidden gem for sure, I have 9 of the top 10 mango trees in my yard, and Ugly Betty is the best in my opinion.

Wow I'm in year 4 in the ground and hoping I'll get at least 14 this year. How are your crops is this an alternate bearer?

[@nymack66]

@@pimptube36 My tree seems to be low producer this year, with lots of blossoms but very few mangoes on the tree, but that is also true for my Carrie, and Hayden, my M4 in container so far is loaded, the first year for my M4 we see what happens.

Thanks!

great video.

I think coconut cream also has this bumpy appearance.

[@orlandogardener]

You're right

[@nicholas8479]

Since lower branches are desirable, why did you cut off those two small branches @2:00?

[@timtebow4775]

I'm a big fan of Carrie...is UB superior to Carrie? Do we know what the other parent might be?

[@TrulyTropical]

The pollinating parent is not known at this time.
We haven't produced much 'Ugly Betty' yet, but most who have tried it like it better than 'Carrie'

[@timtebow4775]

Truly Tropical Carrie is still my favorite. I have heard the old "it's just as good or better than Carrie" claims before. Angie e.g.
