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.

Emerald was selected on Pine Island, FL and probably had Bombay in its parentage. It was promoted by Fairchild Garden's Mango Festival as a "Curator's Choice" tree in the past. The fruit has a firmer flesh than Bombay and the tree growns much less vigorously, with a more open canopy.
The flavor is similar though not quite identical to Bombay, and belongs in the Indian/West Indian flavor group. The seed is monoembryonic.
Emerald fruit tend to be small and a light green color at maturity, sometimes with just a hint of pink blush. Their shape is oval/round.
It has been a consistent producer for us and flowers regularly. They are mid-season and ripen mostly in late June/July. We feel Emerald is a good quality representative of the Indian/West Indian group and is a very nice option for people who want to grow Bombay in limited yardspace or want something like Bombay that will flower more consistently in south Florida.
Flavor: Indian/West Indian
Country: Florida-USA
