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.

This mango was originally called "Early Lemony Saigon" and came from Frank Smathers property in Miami, FL. It was re-named 'Jean Ellen' by Richard Campbell and promoted by Fairchild Tropical Garden as a curator's choice mango at the Mango Festival a number of times.

 

The fruit are completely yellow, small, oblong in shape similar to Philippine or Saigon, with some fiber in its light-yellow colored flesh.

It has a mild, piney spiced flavor that is somewhat similar to that of the Indian Kesar mango, and is in the Indian/Alphonso-flavor group. The seed is small and polyembryonic.

 

The trees tend to flower early, usually multiple times. Their season runs from April to June in years when they bear multiple crops. Typically we get at least some or a considerable amount of spring mangos from Jean Ellen. The growth habit is low-to-moderate vigorous, with open canopy and upright growth habit.

 

The flowers are a little fungal prone, particularly to anthracnose on its early bloom. For this reason it is a poor choice for humid parts of Florida, better suited to growers near the coast. The fruit is moderately resistant to bacterial black spot.
