IMPORTANT READ BEFORE Make your Grafting Request Order
We are only able to graft twice a year, Late Spring & Late Summer.
- If we receive the order between after September 24th and before May 1st, The trees will be grafted in Spring & should be ready by the end of the year.
- For orders made after May 01st and before of September 24th will be grafted in late Summer and should be ready in the Spring following year, May most likely.
Only Once the small tree has completed two flushes of growth since it was grafted do we consider it ready to leave our nursery.
(Estimated time is 6 to 8 months. Some varieties take longer time to growth)
Graham is from Trinidad, and most likely was a Julie seedling.
It was brought to Jamaica where it is grown in the southwest region of the island, possiby under the name "Tringram". However, a different variety in Jamaica also known as "Graham" is not the same mango as the one from Trinidad.
Despite this, most people from Jamaica are unfamiliar with Graham, even though most enjoy it very much once they try it. It's a somewhat boxy-round shaped medium-sized fruit that turns yellow at maturity along the coast, staying green inland.
The flesh is orange, aromatic, fiberless, and very resinous and spice-noted, with the right amount of sweetness to balance it all out. A good Graham can be phenomenal and one of the best Indian/West Indian-flavored mangos, but their quality can be inconsistent under wet conditions, and they tend to go overripe quickly when allowed to tree ripen. They contain a monoembryonic seed. Graham possesses decent anthracnose resistance and also appears to be very resistant to mango bacterial black spot and rot diseases as well.
The trees have only been average producers due to dropping a lot of their small mangos. They are medium-sized trees with spreading growth habits and dense canopies.
Graham matures mid-season here, mostly from late-June into July. We consider it to be an underrated variety that probably deserves more plantings in Florida than it has received.
Flavor: Indian/West Indian
