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.

Lippens was a seedling of Haden selected in Miami, FL by Peter and Irene Lippens planted in 1931 and first fruiting in 1938. It received attention from the Florida Mango Forum in the 1940s and got publicized and later was commercially propagated. It is likely the parent of the Golden Lippens mango, as well as one of the parents of the Irwin mango.
The fruit are ovate to round, medium-sized with a background yellow color developing red-pink blush. The flesh is yellow, fiberless, with a very mild classic flavor. The seed is monoembryonic.
The trees are moderately vigorous with spreading dense canopy. Lippens is early season, ripening from June to July. After finding that it is very susceptible to bacterial black spot and rot, we top worked our Lippens in 2019.
