Rumani
IMPORTANT READ BEFORE Make your Grafting Request Order
Deadline for Fall 2023 Orders is May 01st/2023.
Orders will be grafted this Spring, and should be ready in the Fall/2023.
A 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.

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.
