IMPORTANT READ BEFORE Make your Grafting Request Order
Deadline for Fall 2023 Orders is May 01st/2023.
Orders will be grafted this Spring, and should be ready in the Fall/2023.
A 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 mango is presumably from Merritt Island, FL and derived from a Saigon-type mango, but we know little else about it.
The fruit is small, oval shaped, turning yellow at maturity. The flesh is yellow, fiberless, and has a mild classic mango flavor similar to Glenn. The seed is monoembryonic.
We obtained a tree in 2017 and it was planted in 2018. It first fruited in 2020. The tree has grown as a dwarf for us, with slow spreading habit and open canopy. It appears to be an early or mid-season mango here and hasn't had any disease issues.
Flavor: Classic
Country: Florida - USA
