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)
This variety is from Jamaica, presumably a West Indian type.
It produces a large fruit that turns red as it ripens. The quality was said to be excellent and came recommended to us. Unfortunately we have found the flavor to be very bland.
The tree is reasonably productive and has a very manageable spreading growth habit, but the fruit have been disappointing enough for us to consider top-working the tree at some point.
Race: West Indian
Flower type: -
Country: Jamaica
