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.

Gilas is an old variety from India. Reportedly it is considered a "sucking mango", so presumably juicy, but it is unclear if this means it is fibrous or not.
We grafted it to a 'Manzanillo' stump in 2018. The growth habit and foliage are somewhat reminiscent of Iman Pasand/Alampur Baneshan. The tree has been large enough to fruit since 2020, but as of 2023 had yet to even flower once. It finally produced some panicles in 2024 and we are hoping to finally see fruit from it.
