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.

Diab is a mango from Egypt, where it has fallen out of favor due to susceptibility to malformation disease. It is an extremely vigorous, upright grower and appears to have difficulty flowering in Florida. Ours has produced several crops though.
The flavor is similar to other Egyptian cultivars such as Zebda and Hindi Besenara, with a syrupy sweetness and is of the Indochinese-type. It is a large, oblong fruit that turns a mottled green-purple color at maturity.
it is too anthracnose prone for interior areas, and we have found that Diab is highly prone to bacterial spot and rot of the fruit. Consequently we began top-working the tree after the 2018 season.
It is a mid-season producer in south Florida.
Flavor: Indochinese-Egyptian
Country: Egypt
