Gaylour
IMPORTANT READ BEFORE Make your Grafting Request Order
Deadline for Fall 2023 Orders is May 01st/2023.
Orders will be grafted this Spring, and should be ready in the Fall/2023.
A 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.

This mango is reportedly from Egypt, though none of our Egyptian customers seem familiar with it. It is yellow and has a long oblong shape, with decent fruit size.
The flesh is yellow, firm, fiberless, and very finely flavored, belonging to the Indian/West Indian flavor group. It is comparable to mangos like Step and Taymour in flavor. The seed is monoembryonic, unlike most Egyptian mangos. The tree has a spreading growth habit and is somewhat vigorous. Like some other large, oblong shaped fruit it is prone to splitting on the tree.
We planted Gaylour in 2017 for evaluation. It first fruited in 2019 and we have been very impressed with its eating quality ever since. It appears to be a mid-season fruit here.
The tree is a very vigorous grower with spreading, open canopy. It has been resistant to mango bacterial black spot and anthracnose, but fruit splitting has proven to be a major issue in recent years, particularly after periods of heavy rainfall.
Flavor: Indian/West Indian
