Rumani
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)
Rumani is from south India, and is grown on considerable commercial scale there. The fruit have a distinctive round/globular shape like an apple, and look similar to the Florida 'Cushman' cultivar.
The fruit turn a solid yellow when ripe, with firm, light yellow-colored fiberless flesh containing a small monoembryonic seed. They are small-to-medium sized. The flavor is very rich and sweet, in the classic flavor group and very enjoyable, somewhat comparable to Edward.
The trees have a spreading, compact growth habit with dense canopy. Our Rumani has been extremely vigorous.
The tree flowers well, producing a solid white inflorescence and tending to set fruit on the distillate ends of its panicles. In India it is a heavy bearer and regarded as a later mango but in Florida it is more mid-season, ripening in July for us.
Despite producing well, we think Rumani is a little too prone to bacterial black spot and rot here.
