Diplomatico
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)
This mango is from Mexico, and likely had a Florida-type mango as its parent. It was introduced to the US in the 1990s by Dr. Richard Campbell.
The fruit have the visual appearance of a Cogshall and the eating quality of a Tommy Atkins, with a fibrous, somewhat insipid classically-flavored flesh. The seed is long and monoembryonic.
We discovered around 2015 that Diplomatico is extremely susceptible to bacterial black spot, to such a high degree that every single fruit would get consumed by bacterial cankers and split open on the tree, eventually falling off and rotting.
Diplomatico really has no place in anyone's yard in south Florida and we have topworked ours into a Cac.
Flavor: Classic
Country: Mexico
