Yi Xuan
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.

Yi Xuan was a seedling of 'Lemon Zest', grown and selected by Walter Zill of Boynton Beach, FL. The fruit is oblong in shape and turns a dull yellow at maturity. We were very impressed by the flavor on several occasions and grafted it in 2019 for evaluation. Reportedly the fruit display good resistance to bacterial black spot (unlike its maternal parent Lemon Zest) but had issues with splitting for Walter.
Our own Yi Xuan fruited in 2021, and the fruit were well received with a rich classic mango flavor. The tree produced a larger crop in 2022, and fruit splitting has not been a major issue for us with the variety.
