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.
The fruit are quite small, round and have an orange flesh with some fiber content. We've observed that the fruit go over-ripe if left to tree ripen and should probably be harvested mature green and ripened foff the tree.
We grafted it to a 'Manzanillo' stump in 2018. The growth habit and foliage are somewhat reminiscent of Iman Pasand/Alampur Baneshan. The tree finally fruited in 2024.
