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.

Fukuda is a Keitt seedling from Hawaii.
It was described as productive and having commercial potential. It has a very lanky growth habit with long internodes and open canopy much like Keitt. The fruit are smaller and medium-sized however, oval-shaped and turning a white-ish yellow color at maturity. The flesh is dark yellow, firm with scanty fiber, with a good mild-to-medium bodied classic mango flavor.
We found Fukuda was susceptible to rot and bacterial spot and ultimately top-worked the tree some years ago. We have maintained a few branches of it so as to still be able to produce grafted trees from it. It may still have commercial potential in areas which do not suffer from bacterial black spot disease. It ripens mid-season in West Palm Beach from late June into July
