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.

Delores is a Keitt seedling selected by Gary Zill from his breeding project in Boynton Beach, FL (planting # D-24), first fruiting in 2000. 'Gary' may have been the pollinating parent.
It is a large, oval-shaped mango that turns yellowish at maturity. The flesh is firm, fiberless, and has a medium-bodied classic flavor with an aroma similar to Honey Kiss and Cotton Candy.
It was released in 2016 and we planted our tree in 2017 and it fruited in 2023. Unfortunately the tree is growing in an unoptimal spot receiving too much shade which has limited its opportunities to fruit. We are still evaluating its performance owing to the length of time it took for it to bear its first crop.
Flavor: Classic
Country: USA
