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.
Preorder: Graft Me a 1 Gallon Tree 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.
(Estimated time is 6 to 8 months. Some varieties take longer time to growth)
Sometimes spelled Neelam, this mango is from south India where it is grown on a large commercial scale. It is a very late-season mango, generally maturing from August to September, with some fruit lasting into October certain years.
The fruit are small, oval-ovate in shape, and turn yellow along the coast, tending to stay green when ripe in the interior areas. The flesh is fiberless, pale yellow, and has a lovely Indian/West Indian flavor with a light resin note. The seed is monoembryonic.
The trees have a low spreading growth habit, and the leaves are long, thin and distinctive. They are very manageable and can be kept small with relative ease.
The flowers and fruit are very fungus resistant, so much so that Neelum fruited successfully for us in Loxahatchee without any spraying.
Flavor: Indian/West Indian
Country: India
