A Pre-Order Grafting Request is an order for us to produce the specific tree that we don't currently have available in stock. We must graft the tree and then it must go through a multi-month process to heal and grow. Only Once the small tree has completed two flushes of growth since it was grafted do we consider it ready to leave our nursery.

Amrapali is from India's national breeding program, a newer cultivar developed in the 1970s by crossing 'Dasheri' and 'Neelam'. This makes Amrapali the sibling of the better known 'Mallika'.
Amrapali has developed a strong reputation as a disease resistant mango of excellent eating quality that also possesses strong attributes as a tree: it is considered dwarf, precocious and highly productive.
We topworked it onto a mature tree in 2018 to evaluate it in our location. Other Amrapali trees in Florida have grown extremely slowly and this has been the case with ours. In 2020, the topworked Amrapali fruited for the first time and has fruited each year since. We intend to add more of this variety to our program at some point in the near future.
The fruit is small, sigmoid shaped and goes overripe easily, but when sliced firm it has a deliciously rich and complex flavor that is difficult to classify, containing elements of both citrus and Indian/West Indian flavor elements. The seed is small, monoembryonic, and it may make a rootstock capable of dwarfing some Indian mangos according to at least one study.
Amrapalli is a later mid-season mango here in West Palm Beach, usually ripening in July.
Flavor: Citrus and Indian/West Indian
Country: India
