Sindhu
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.

Sindhu was a project of India's national breeding program, a cross between Ratna and Alphonso and has been in existence for several decades.
It gained a false reputation for producing "seedless" fruit, when in reality the fruit often just have small, undeveloped seeds.
The fruit are small, oval-to-roundly shaped, and of superb eating quality. The flesh is yellow, fiberless, and has a pronounced Indian-Alphonso flavor, tasting extremely similar to the Alphonso. The seed is small and monoembryonic.
We obtained a tree in 2015 and planted it in 2017 for evaluation here. It has produced well a number of seasons, performing better than some other Indian varieties including Alphonso itself, but has also been prone to mango bacterial black spot. The tree is a very modest grower with spreading, open growth habit. It is a mid-season producer for us, with fruit ripening in July and sometimes August.
Flavor: Indian-Alphonso
Country: India
