IMPORTANT READ BEFORE Make your Grafting Request Order

Spring Grafted Trees should be ready the following Fall. Deadline is May 01

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.

Itamaraca is from an island that is part of Brazil and apparently there maybe be several "iterations" of it ( get it? haha :P). Most Brazilians have never heard of it, while some know it under a different name.

 

The fruit is very small and round and compressed, sometimes flying saucer-shaped. They're green but develop some yellow and red blush at maturity.  The flesh is fiberless and has what we would categorize as Indian/Alphonso class flavor, resembling the flavor of the Kesar variety. So if you are a fan of Kesar you may enjoy trying Itamaraca! The seed is very small and polyembryonic.

 

The trees are spreading growers with a dwarfish- compact growth habit. Despite the small fruit size, they produce well. We planted our first Itamaraca in 2017 for evaluation and it fruited in 2019, later adding a second tree. It is an early-to-midseason variety with an extended season and has been very disease resistant.
