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)
Oro is from Mexico (the name means Gold in Spanish) and probably a seedling of mixed parentage.
The fruit are oval-oblong and turn bright purple/red in color even before maturity. In Mexico it is reportedly used for green consumption. The ripe fruit has a yellow, very fibrous flesh with mild, insipid flavor.
The season is early from June to July and the trees are productive.
We found Oro to be highly susceptible to bacterial black spot and rot fungi and this problem, coupled with mediocre ripe flavor, drove us to topwork it into a Cac.
Flavor: Classic
Country: Mexico
