Ah Ping

SKU: 00020
IMPORTANT READ BEFORE Make your Grafting Request Order
Spring Grafted Trees should be ready the following Fall. Deadline is May 01
Late Summer & Fall Grafted Trees should be ready the following Spring. Deadline is October 01
 
A  Pre-Order 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.

Ah Ping was selected in Hawaii and named after Mrs. Chun Ah Ping of Mapulehu, Molokai. 

 

The tree has a spreading, moderately vigorous growth habit with long internodes and very open canopy. It is a very good producer of *beautiful* medium-to-large red oval fruit with very firm, yet fiberless texture and extremely sweet classic flavor with strong notes of stone fruit. The seed is monoembryonic and paper thin. The tree has a tendency to produce a lot of "nubbin" fruits, which are small mangos that contain aborted seeds. Nubbins from Ah Ping usually taste superb though and can be eaten like a peach.

 

Not as well known as it should be, we really like this fruit and it has proven to be quite popular with people who try it. In our opinion, it is one of the best tasting classically flavored mangos.

Ah Ping is an early season mango and usually ripens from May to June. Sometimes it will have fruit ripen as early as April here.

We have discovered that Ah Ping is highly prone to bacterial black spot. However, this problem has proven somewhat manageable on it for the last several years. The fruit can also be prone to post-harvest anthracnose as well, so Ah Ping is a better choice for areas which aren't so humid that anthracnose is a regular problem.
