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)
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.
