IMPORTANT READ BEFORE Make your Grafting Request Order

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 is the national mango of Australia and has been for many decades, and is also known as the "Bowen", after having been discovered in Bowen, Queensland. Its origins are unclear but it is polyembryonic (suggesting some southeast Asian ancestry) and has been planted from seed throughout the country as well as grafted.

 

The fruit are ovate in shape and medium sized, averaging around a pound at maturity. They are mostly yellow, developing some light red blush on the top half of the fruit. The flesh contains a limited amount of fiber, is yellow with a mild indochinese-type mango flavor.

 

The trees are moderately vigorous growers with spreading, open canopies. Their production is erratic and they are moderately susceptible to bacterial spot and  rot diseases.

 

Kensington Pride is a mid-season mango in south Florida, maturing primarily from late-June to July.
