IMPORTANT READ BEFORE Make your Grafting Request Order
Spring Grafted Trees should be ready the following Fall. Deadline is May 01
Late Summer & Fall Grafted Trees should be ready the following Spring. Deadline is October 01
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.

This is a seedling of Zill-80 from Gary Zill's breeding program in Boynton Beach, FL, and originally planting number 1-29.
The fruit are large sized, round in shape and turn yellow at maturity. They have a firm, fiberless flesh with classic-subacid flavor. The seed is monoembryonic. It is a late season fruit maturing from Juy to August.
We grafted Crystal to a Lemon Zest stump in 2018 for evaluation. It fruited impressively in 2021 and we feel this variety has very promising potential as a late season variety. Disease resistance has been strong.
The tree is moderatelty vigorous with a spreading growth habit. Because our Crystal is only a half-tree (it shares its stump with a more vigorous variety), we may plant another or top-work an additional stump into Crystal in the future.
