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 is probably descended from Irwin and was selected by the Zill family of Boynton Beach, FL over 40 years ago.
It's a small-to-medium sized fruit, ovately shaped and turns a brilliant red color well before maturity, making harvesting sometimes tricky for those unfamiliar. The flesh is yellow, with flavor that is very, very mild and in the classic group. The seed is monoembryonic.
Jewel is early-season and ripens from June to July. The tree has a low rate of growth and spreading habit with open canopy. Though it is precocious and produces well, we have found it very susceptible to bacterial black spot and rot fungi, with a flavor too mild for most consumers and have since top-worked the tree.
Flavor: Classic
Country: Florida-USA
