Sophie Fry was likely a seedling of the 'Julie' mango grown by Laurence Zill of Boynton Beach, Florida.
Sophie Fry is perhaps best known for reportedly being the parent of the 'Carrie' mango,[1] which became one of the more popular dooryard cultivars sold in Florida.
The cultivar did not become a popular dooryard variety nor gain commercial acceptance.
A Sophie Fry tree is planted in the collection of the University of Florida's Tropical Research and Education Center in Homestead, Florida.
The nearly fiberless flesh is orange in color, juicy, and aromatic, with a rich, sweet flavor.
