Carrie Furnace

Carrie (mango)
The 'Carrie' mango is a named mango cultivar that originated in south Florida, USA. History The original tree was grown on the property of Laurence H. Zill in Boynton Beach, Florida and was reportedly a seedling of the ' Sophie Fry' mango. A pedigree analysis of the Florida mangoes conducted in 2005 that did not include Sophie Fry instead the study found Julie to be the most likely parent, though Julie is also the parent of Sophie Fry. The Carrie tree was named after Lawrence Zill's mother, Carrie Zill. It first fruited in 1940 and commercial propagation began in 1949. Thereafter Carrie gained a reputation for having excellent eating qualities and good disease resistance. Its commercial application was limited due to the fruit's lack of color and soft flesh, but it became a popular dooryard variety in Florida. Carrie trees are planted in the collections of the USDA's germplasm repository in Miami, Florida, the University of Florida's Tropical Research and Education Center in Hom ...

On Europe tours following the band's reunion in 2003, an acoustic version of "Carrie" has been played, with Tempest performing the song on an acoustic guitar.
