IMPORTANT READ BEFORE Make your Grafting Request Order

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.

Peach Cobbler is an interesting mango from the breeding program of Gary Zill in Boynton Beach, FL (planting # O-2), and was a Kent seedling with 'Gary' thought to be its pollen parent.

The fruit are round in shape, small-to-medium sized, and stay mostly light green even when ripe, making judging maturity challenging. The flesh is soft, fiberless, and orange in color. The flavor is exceptionally rich, but despite the name, has more of a complex Gary-type citrus flavor and has been extremely popular among those who try it. Unfortunately, the fruit will go overripe if allowed to ripen on the tree and the shelf life seems rather brief.

The tree is a vigorous grower with dense, spreading canopy. They appear to be highly un-precocious, taking years just to flower and initially flowered poorly in response to mild winters. Their fruit set was average and retention unimpressive. As the tree has aged however, its flowering habit has improved as has its total production. Its also very resistant to mango bacterial black spot. The season is July to August.

Due to its issues so far, we can't recommend Peach Cobbler to home growers in south Florida at this time despite its superb flavor. However it may be a better choice for growers in central Florida and apparently does well in California.
