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.

This was a Keitt seedling from the breeding program of Gary Zill in Boynton Beach, FL (planting number 43-26). It was originally going to be discarded before being rescued by his brother Walter Zill, who found the trees to be very productive at his property and gave it the name "Honey Kiss".
The fruit are small-to-medium sized, yellow developing some pink blush near maturity. The flesh is yellow, firm, fiberless, and in the classic-flavor group, with nice sweet flavor and have proven quite popular. The seed is small and polyembryonic.
We've found the tree to be a slow, low-vigour grower with a spreading growth habit. Most of the Honey Kiss trees we've planted have behaved as dwarf trees, but a couple exceptions have grown as moderately vigorous trees. They have been extremely disease resistant for us, including possessing excellent resistance to mango bacterial black spot and powdery mildew. They are a late-season mango ripening between late-July and August in West Palm.
