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)
This mango was probably a Haden seedling and was selected in the area of West Palm Beach, FL in the 1950s, obtained from the yard of an individual who was reluctant to share the budwood by Laurence Zill and Jack Faircloth, the former mayor of West Palm Beach. Faircloth named the fruit after his daughter. It was recognized as being a productive tree and having very attractive-looking fruit.
They are medium-to-large sized, round-shaped and turn red with yellow background color at maturity. The flesh is soft, melting, and fiberless, with a medium-sweet classic flavor with some pineapple undertones. The seed is monoembryonic.
The trees are reliably good producers, but somewhat disease-prone. The flowers are fairly prone to powdery mildew and the fruit can develop a large anthracnose spot on the top. On the plus side, Jaqueline fruited several times under heavy fungal pressure in Loxahatchee Groves for us.
They are very vigorous growers, with open upright canopy. It is an early season mango in south Florida, maturing primarily in June and early July most years in West Palm Beach, where it fruits very consistently.
Flavor: Classic
Country: Florida-USA
