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 from the property of D.H. Martin in West Palm Beach, FL. Its parentage went unreported, but a 2005 USDA genetic pedigree analysis estimated that Mulgoba was one of its parents.
The fruit is medium-to-large in size, and has sometimes been called the "Pot Belly mango" due to its unusual bulging shape. The flesh is in the classic flavor group, yellow and mild/insipid, containing a monoembryonic seed.
The trees have a spreading, vigorous growth habit. We have found the fruit to be highly prone to Neofusicoccum rot disease and had poor eating quaity anyways, so have top worked our tree. We later discovered some limbs of 'Martin' growing inside the original Duncan mango tree, likely grafted on by David Sturrock.
Flavor: Classic
