Carrie Mango Flower in September

10 years ago

Hello,

I am surprised to find out that my Carrie mango is having flower this early time of the year. I am not talking about 1 or 2, but there are a lot. Base on what I read, they usually flower from November to February. Anyway, I am kind of worry, because I see some dark brown spot on the flower. They look like some kind of fungus or disease. Can anyone help me to see if the flowers are normal? If it look like some kind of fungus on the flower, what can I do to get rid of it? I really want to see some Carrie mango fruit. I heard it is one of the best tasting mango, but I never have one. This is my first time seeing its flower.
Thank you very much for all advises.

You could spray a fungicide, like copper and I have also read (but yet to try) something natural like cinnamon oil.

You will definitely love the taste of the Carrie!

anthan - are you in CA or Florida? I'm guessing Florida. YEah, I'm thinking your flowers have a bit of anthracnose which I don't have experience with since I live in the CA desert, but as the other person said, I believe spraying with copper does help....

But I will say this - it's been a very unusual year for flowering from all I've heard of the U.S. mango growers.

Well good luck and keep us posted if you get fruit set and they grow!

Thank you very much MangoDog. I live in Virginia, but I bought my mango from Miami, FL. I just got the copper spray today. Can I spray it directly to the flower?

Thanks again MangoDo
