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.

Mango discovered growing in easement of home on west corner of Canal Rd and 39th ave S in Palm Springs, FL. Unclear whether it is a seedling or grafted tree, as there is another mango growing from the same base that produces different fruit. Regardless, "Palm Springs" does not resemble any known cultivars in Florida.
The fruit are fairly small, yellow with no blush, round and squatly shaped, with firm, fiberless orange flesh. The flavor is very rich, perhaps resembling that of 'Dot' but sometimes with a hint of resin. Excellent eating quality. The seed is quite small, polyembryonic but most fruits from this tree seem to have stunted, undeveloped seeds.
Budwood was obtained in August of 2018 and grafted to a mature stump in West Palm Beach for evaluation. The tree first produced in 2020. Despite flowering well, fruit set and retention tend to be light, resulting in disappointing production thus far. The fruit appear resistant to bacterial spot but prone to anthracnose.
Flavor: Classic-acid
Country: Florida - USA
