We are only able to graft twice a year, Late Spring & Late Summer.
- If we receive the order between after September 24th and before May 1st, The trees will be grafted in Spring & should be ready by the end of the year.
- For orders made after May 01st and before of September 24th will be grafted in late Summer and should be ready in the Spring following year, May most likely.
Only Once the small tree has completed two flushes of growth since it was grafted do we consider it ready to leave our nursery.

This mango came from the breeding program of Gary Zill in Boynton Beach, FL. Originally planting number 1-9, it was a 'Keitt' seedling that may have been pollinated by East Indian.
The fruit are roundly shaped, medium sized and turn yellow at maturity. The flesh is yellow, very firm but fiber-free, and has a very rich flavor that is difficult to classify, somewhere between Indian/West Indian and classic.
We planted our Ambrosia tree in 2017. The tree had repeatedly failed to flower until finally fruiting in 2022, and has fruited better each year since. It has a vigorous, vertical growth habit with open canopy.
Ambrosia appears to be a late-season mango here ripening into August.
Flavor: - Classic-subacid
Country: Florida-USA
