Shwehintha
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.
Preorder: Graft Me a 1 Gallon Tree 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.
(Estimated time is 6 to 8 months. Some varieties take longer time to growth)
Shwehintha is from Myanmar and the spelling can vary. It is a long, oblong shaped yellow fruit. In recent years it has also appeared in the Florida nursery trade under the name 'Raw Honey'.
The flesh is yellow, fiberless, yellow, containing a long thin polyembryonic seed. The eating quality is good, falling somewhere between Indochinese and Thai, comparable to the Maha Chanok in quality.
Production appears good on trees we've seen but there are reports that it is somewhat fungus prone in more humid areas.
We planted one in 2016 and it fruited in 2019. Production has been disappointing thus far.
Flavor: Indochinese
Country: Myanmar
