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.

Ewais is from Egypt, originating in the area near the Suez Canal and was named after an Egyptian minister. It is a small, ovate-shaped yellow fruit with a fiberless flesh and exceptionally sweet flavor that surprises those who have never tried it. The fruit are very prone to post-harvest anthracnose, but resistant to bacterial spot. The seed is very thin and small, and polyembryoic.
The tree is non-precocious, and takes a while to start producing. It has a medium vigor, upright growth habit with dense canopy and may struggle to flower some years in the climate of south Florida. When it does flower though it sets a lot of fruit and makes very nice crops.
Ewais is a mid-season cultivar and ripens mostly in July here. We feel this variety might perform well in southern California due to its lack of precocity and growth habit.
Flavor: Egyptian/Indochinese
