- 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.

'Tess Pollock' was selected by Chris Wenzel of Delray Beach, FL and is thought to be a cross between Carrie and Turpentine.
The fruit is oval-shaped, somewhat similar to Carrie, turning yellow at maturity. The flesh has a minor amount of fiber, with terpenes in the flavor and a hint of 'Carrie' spice. It is a very nice fruit belonging to the Indian-Alphonso flavor group.
Our tree produced its first fruit in 2017 and has grown rather slowly, cropping lightly the first several years and producing better more recently. The tree flowers very easily, usually multiple times resulting in at least 2 distinct crops in Spring/Summer for us. The fruit is very prone to post-harvest anthracnose spotting of the skin.
Flavor: Indian-Alphonso
Country: Florida - USA
