Itamaraca
IMPORTANT READ BEFORE Make your Grafting Request Order
Deadline for Fall 2023 Orders is May 01st/2023.
Orders will be grafted this Spring, and should be ready in the Fall/2023.
A 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 Brazil and apparently there maybe be several "iterations" of it ( get it? haha :P).
The fruit is very small and round, 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 Itamaraca in 2017 for evaluation and it fruited in 2019. It is an early-to-midseason variety with an extended season and has been very disease resistant.
Flavor: - Indian/Alphonso
Country: Brazil
