Okrung
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.

Okrung (also spelled "Okrong") is from Thailand, and is known for its extremely sweet sugar-cane like flavor.
It is a small oblong fruit that stays largely green at maturity with a tiny hint of red blush and yellow. The flesh is pale yellow, has some fiber, with a rather poor flesh-to-seed ratio. The flavor is sugar cane sweetness, with no acidity to balance it out. It contains a monoembryonic seed.
The trees are moderately vigorous with vertical growth habits. They are very un-precocious, often taking years to first flower despite being grafted. They do fruit well when they bloom though.
Okrung is a mid-season mango maturing late-June through July. It has good anthracnose resistance and will fruit in the interior, but it appears at least moderately-to-very susceptible to mango bacterial black spot and rot fungi. At one point we had two but top-worked one of them due to this problem and poor demand for the fruit.
