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 is from the breeding program of Gary Zill in Boynton Beach, FL and was a seedling of Zill-80 (planting # DW-10). It was named after Marlys Zill, sister of Gary and daughter of Laurence Zill. It was later re-named 'All Summer', a reference to its extended season.
The fruit are large, round shaped, medium-sized and red-skin colored similarly to Haden, with yellow fiberless flesh. It has a classic Florida mango flavor that we find similar to Kent, with notes of stone fruit. They average 1.5-2 pounds in weight. The seed is monoembryonic.
The tree has a spreading and moderately vigorous growth habit. It sets fruit well and has born good crops in recent years. It ripens mid-season here, primarily in July. We are still evaluating 'Marlys' for its resistance to bacterial spot and rot, though it seems at least somewhat prone.
Flavor: Classic
Country: Florida - USA
