PS Thank you Doctor Har for this Supremely Delicious and entertaining Mango video especially during this very stressful and trying time. It was like a mango lovers dream trip through Disney’s Mango Magic Kingdom! We love you and Chris who bring such joy to the world!!
I have been following this channel for a while, ( excellent content btw!) and I'm from the Caribbean. I have tasted lots of mangoes, both from around the world and local ( in the Caribbean ) and I like it as an exotic tasting fruit..However, I have never tasted anything as flavourful and exciting as what we have in the Caribbean. I can highlight three mango varieties that are exceptional and most Caribbean folks absolutely love. Even those who migrate to work and live agree and beg for a taste of these mangoes when they return. They are: 1. Julie Mango - ( A large fruit, very aromatic, smells like passion fruit, and tastes like a cross between Sugar Apple and Guava.) 2. Starch Mango - ( A smaller, round fruit, very milky and sweet..basically taste like vanilla ice cream.) 3. Mango Vere - ( the name is French. But a very tasty mango that has a unique, extremely sweet taste..funny thing is, it tastes much better when harvested fully ripe and then left a couple days on the table to further enzymatic breakdown..Only then you get its real flavors..Also a very aromatic fruit. The first two fruits ( Julie & Starch ) can not be propagated from seed because they were bred and created and are grafted using the Vere Mango or another mango called a "Rose mango", as rootstock.. The resultant trees, ( Julie & Starch ) are short, ( about 3 - 4 meters tall ) and compact and do not require pruning since genetically, they remain that way for life. they were bred for people who want to have a mango tree in their front or backyards..The Mango Vere or Rose are huge trees not suitable for home gardens. I would like to believe that they can be cultivated in some zones in the USA The Rose mango is a visually beautiful, large, fleshy mango that looks rosy & ripe even when it is green. (Lol, color is definitely not one of its maturation indices).. However, not very tasty., as compared to the Julie and Starch, hence, It is mostly used to make sweet condiments and chutneys.
Luckily for me, the first Carrie I tried must have been perfectly ripe, as I really liked it a lot. besides it's unique flavor, it also has a texture that is different than most varieties, best I can describe it is, as melt in your mouth. but not mushy.
You gotta eat Carrie while the color is still green, but the inside is soft. Carrie is the juiciest and the yummiest mango I’ve tasted. Don’t let it get too ripe, I feel like the juice gets drained.
It would be helpful if tree size were part of the descriptions. I've been favoring dwarfs and semi-dwarfs and found in Hurricane Ian that the smaller trees fared much better. Some folks also have space limitations. So, in my opinion, tree size should be equally talked about alongside flavor. I'm told that Orange Essence is a dwarf or semi-dwarf. Can you confirm that please?
Carrie, Kathy (K-3) and Pram Kai Meu are the three that can be kept at a reasonable height. The others are possible with a continuous pruning regime. Several have moderate to above moderate growth tendencies
@@greatergood3706 Thanks but I already have Pickering, Venus, Cogshall, Diamond, Angie, Mahachanok, Dwarf Hawaiian, Neelum, Ice Cream, and Fairchild. These are all dwarf or semi-dwarf. So your claim of "the three" that can be kept small is erroneous. I was simply asking Truly Tropical to mention tree size when describing new varieties.
@Peter Burkard Haden, Keitt, Julie, Orange Sherbet, Pineapple Pleasure, Nam Doc Mai #4, Carrie, Venus, Dwarf Hawaiian, Rosa, Beverly. All maintained at 15 ft or less.
It is the off season for my mangos but alas I have quiet a few in the freezer. This year I planted 4 new variety's. Lemon meringue, Lemon Zest, Kaser and Keitt so I can get them for 6 months. I'm missing my mango's but my dragon fruit is making up. Thanks for the heads up.
I have 2 Carrie mango trees. My wife and her friends think it is the best tasting mango from South Florida. It requires spray of copper sulfate to prevent fungus drop of flowers.
Its like picking the most beautiful woman. Vatiety is beautiful but everyone will have their own favorite. Luckily with mangos its okay to have more than one.
Carrie. Talking 25 years ago I had a Haden for many years and that was the only variety I knew about. Then after hearing great things about Carrie I planted one. After many years it produced fruit. I picked them an let them ripen and they tasted pretty bad. I already had a descent sized Carrie tree at this point and had learned how to graft so I converted the tree to a few other varieties. But a Carrie Branch arose and produced 1 year. We busted our brains trying to figure out why we hated Carrie when so many people loved it. We figured it out and now we like Carrie. You see we only had eaten Hadens at the time we ate and disliked Carrie so when we picked Carrie and let it ripen we were judging its ripeness based on judging Hadens ripeness. When we readjusted our ripeness criteria for Carrie we started opening them 2-3 days earlier than what a Haden looks like and feels like when ready to eat. We were waiting toooo long to cut into Carrie and bitched about how strong the flavor was but it was because we ripened them toooo long. Now I’m glad we still have a Carrie Branch left on the original tree!
Naqib Shifa yes I live in Miami and grow about 270 mango trees. My Carrie experience was exactly like I said. All my varieties taste exactly like described by others. The only factor with my Carrie’s was letting them get over ripe.
@@richardw4928 Oh ok, thanks for the follow-up. I live in the Los Angeles area. Do you know if the mango varieties that taste wonderful in Florida will also taste wonderful in Los Angeles? Does geography change the taste of mangos? I ask because one interesting thing I realized is that in India, they absolutely love the Alphonso mango (I'm basing this off videos on youtube), however I noticed that Alphonso is not as widely praised in Florida. Please let me know if you have any recommendations/advice for those of us seeking to graft delicious mango varieties on our trees here in Los Angeles.
Naqib Shifa I suggest you go onto the Tropical Fruit Forum because there are a lot of California mango growers who participate and can answer your California questions.
It’s a black spot on the mango - you’ll be able to identify it. There is at least one on affected fruit and the spot is about 5% of the small mango (my estimation).
I live in St Petersburg Florida & I'm going to plant my first Mango tree this year. I'm going with Mallika. Any advice? I really need to make a trip over to see your farm one day. Love your videos.
Brian Moody Plant now so it has time to grow and strengthen before next winters cold comes. Make sure you water at least every other day and give it good soil.
Brian Moody if you’re interested I’m in st pete as well and have some extra orange sherbet mango seedlings if you’d like one let me know! Best mango I have ever tasted and it was from doctor Campbell
What varietal is a "Romina" mango. It has a 4051 produce code and says it is a product of Mexico. I am unable to garner any specific info on a Google search.
Out of this list, Fruit Punch would probably be the best since it’s the most vigorous. In dry low-humidity areas (like California and Arizona), more vigorous varieties are preferred since they perform better.
Interestingly, on a mango video on another channel the grower said that if he and his family eat Carrie and Fairchild together, they have to stop eating the Carrie mangos because Fairchild is way better.
I live in SW Florida, which Mango do you recommend for late season. I have 6 variety's, My new obnes this year is Malika, I get my first try of those this year, they're not ripe yet.
Caribbean gyal with Trini descent, living in Texas. I found your channel and old video while looking for compact variety options.🙂 Of course I knew of my namesake Julie 😋😋 New Sub, love the channel
Tx Julie....do not look for a compact growing or slow growing mango if you are planting in ground...in our weather Texas and Arizona and California we need fast growing strong trees like Cac, Valencia pride and Dupois Saigon...try and get seeds from those in the summer and plant
Hi, lovely video. Extremely surprised that Alphonso is missing on the list! It's insanely popular in India, especially the west coast.But like you did mention, everyone tastes differently! Anyway for propagation that you can offer for this list, out in India, Mumbai?
That's really lots of mango variety. But I'm a bit intrigue by the word "Supreme" because it connotes to be the best of the best. But I heard a Mango variety of great taste, delicious, and the sweetest that the Guinness Book of World Records gave its Award to be the Best in the World. I Think it's the Philippine Mango. I even heard that the Philippine Mangoes are being served at the White House ,Buckingham Palace and in Russia, since they are importing from the Philippines 2 Tons Monthly. Maybe that variety is really, should I say "supreme" among the world's varieties. I didn't hear you mentioned Philippine Mangoes. I guess what I saw in your video were all from Indian/Pakistan Varieties.
@@danielc7656 Are you dreaming? Better wake up and check the Guinness Book of World Records who holds the Award for the Best Mangoes of the World. If ever you say something you must have concrete and documented proofs and not just blurting out senseless statements.
@Moose knucklehead Your allegation is well taken. But it needs proof to substantiate not just hearsay. Or maybe the Philippine Mangoes are not well suited for Florida environment. Besides The Guinness Book of World Records is a prestigious institution and should be well considered its judgement, otherwise submit any variety to debunk their decision on Philippine Mangoes as the best in the world. And your taste buds is for your own satisfaction, but the problem lies in what did you taste. You may have tasted so many varieties. But have you ever tasted the Philippine Mangoes? If not, then it's high time for you to try it and prove to your taste buds what makes it so different from others without prejudices. You don't know what you're missing.
@Moose knucklehead Why not check out the Philippine Guimaras Mangoes? Ever heard of it? I doubt? It's not about the number of varieties, it's about the TASTE. Even if you have a million varieties if it doesn't pass the Criteria of the Guinness people, then it would miserably fail. Got the rationale? Better use your Knucklehead.

Great video! Thanks for sharing your list Har

Nice, always enjoy a Har presentation. (Heard him speak once, over here in Ft. Myers, FL)
Warm greeting from Surabaya, Indonesia. .. Another mango producer instead of Jakarta 😀🙋
Enjoyed watching his favorite mangos. You gotta love har.

The k3 is one of my favorite thank you Mr zill for developing it
Thanks fot giving valuable information

Coconut cream too
I really didn't like Carrie at first, but one year I tried it while it was still a bit firm and tart, it was delicious.
You gotta eat Carrie while the color is still green, but the inside is soft. Carrie is the juiciest and the yummiest mango I’ve tasted. Don’t let it get too ripe, I feel like the juice gets drained.
I have 17 mango trees in my yard and 4 of them are Carrie, the other 13 varieties are all different!
PS. I love Carrie the best 👍
Carrie carries the day.Thank you.
Aya that's a maghty fine mango theya.
M4 should be called Coconut Dream

Supremely delicious category according to Har.
Sure, it can be "supremely delicious" and be any size of tree. My question was what size is the mature tree.
Carrie, Kathy (K-3) and Pram Kai Meu are the three that can be kept at a reasonable height. The others are possible with a continuous pruning regime. Several have moderate to above moderate growth tendencies

You may include amropali, lyangra, gopal voge, khirshapati, harivanga from Bangladesh. It is another center of origin of mango.
WOW, I am so happy to learn these names as I am from Bangladesh and miss mangoes very much .
Supremely interesting!
Did u try the ewais variety?
Worlds best indian Alfanso...
Good variety

Hi sir how are you?I'm from India I have nursery
I have 2 Carrie mango trees. My wife and her friends think it is the best tasting mango from South Florida. It requires spray of copper sulfate to prevent fungus drop of flowers.
Love Carrie!
I sprouted a mango seed, and it's growing beautifully. How/where can I send a sample of it to find what variety it is?
You don't have to send it anywhere. Its a wild mango.
Wild thing, you make my heart ❤️ sing 🎶
You make everything Groovy 🎶
Nice ☺️
Its like picking the most beautiful woman. Vatiety is beautiful but everyone will have their own favorite. Luckily with mangos its okay to have more than one.
How do these compare to coconut cream?
@13:05, is it one mango tree? What is the width of this tree?

Do you live in Florida? I'm wondering if another factor in the discrepancy in taste is due to climate, soil composition, humidity, etc.

what is meant by resin taste?
Resin is good, it makes a mango 🥭 fruit taste unique
can you do a video on identifying mango bacterial black spot when the fruit is small to help control its spread?
It’s a black spot on the mango - you’ll be able to identify it. There is at least one on affected fruit and the spot is about 5% of the small mango (my estimation).

St. Pete good climate w/ Gulf and Tampa Bay to warm you in Winter. You will not be disappointed in Mallika.
See their video about Malika to help decide when to pick.
Brian Moody if you’re interested I’m in st pete as well and have some extra orange sherbet mango seedlings if you’d like one let me know! Best mango I have ever tasted and it was from doctor Campbell
Brian Moody also I strongly suggest trying the mango variety before planting to ensure you like it.
So no south Asian mangoes in your list?
yay Fruit Punch right off the bat!!! Hi Chris! Hi Har!! Hee Haw!!!
Kathy mango looks like Florigon
What varietal is a "Romina" mango.
