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 a seedling from the collection of Frank Smathers’ Four Fillies Farm in Miami, Florida. Smathers named the variety after Justin Bergh , one of his grand children. It is one of the least well-known of the varieties to originate on Smathers’ property.
The fruit is large, round in shape and develops a reddish blush at maturity. It reportedly has a very high quality classic mango flavor.
We obtained budwood that was sourced by a friend from the original Justin tree at the former Four Fillies Farm, and grafted a tree that was planted in 2022. It has grown slowly for us thus far, but we are looking forward to evaluating it based off its good reputation. It will probably be allowed to fruit in 2025.
Flavor: Classic
Country: Florida-USA
