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)
M-17 was a seedling from the breeding program of Gary Zill in Boynton Beach, FL and of reportedly very good eating quality.
We obtained several M-17 trees in 2017. The tree has a spreading growth habit and makes a roundish, colorful fruit with a firm yellow, fiberless flesh containing a monoembryonic seed. It is a high quality classic flavored mango whose taste strongly resembles the Beverly cultivar.
It has been a mid-to-late season mango for us and hasn't had any disease issues thus far.
Flavor: - Classic
Country: Florida - USA
