IMPORTANT READ BEFORE Make your Grafting Request Order
Spring Grafted Trees should be ready the following Fall. Deadline is May 01
Late Summer & Fall Grafted Trees should be ready the following Spring. Deadline is October 01
A Pre-Order 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.

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
