Davis Haden
IMPORTANT READ BEFORE Make your Grafting Request Order
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.
(Estimated time is 6 to 8 months. Some varieties take longer time to growth)
Davis Haden was a mutation/bud sport of Haden selected and named by Ed P Davis, a mango grower in Miami in the 1940s.
It was considered an improvement over Haden with less fiber and superior yield and anthracnose resistance. The flavor is somewhat mild stone fruit.
The fruit are oval-ovate and turn a brilliant red color at maturity, and medium sized.
Unfortunately, Davis Haden has proven to be highly susceptible to Bacterial Black Spot and rotting fungi, to the point that a majority of its heavy crops were lost to these diseases for several years.
We have topworked our tree into a Juliett, and no longer recommend Davis Haden for planting here. A branch of it was allowed to remain for a small amount of propagation.
Flavor: Classic
Country: Florida-USA
