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.

Ataulfo is from Chiapas state, Mexico and has become established as one of the most important commercial cultivars in Mexico. It is now grown commercially elsewhere in Latin America as well.
The trees are vigorous, vertically oriented growers with open canopy and are moderate producers of small, oblong yellow mangos. It is thought to be descended from the 'Manila' group of mangos introduced to Mexico from the Philippines.
The flesh is firm but fiberless, with a mild subacid taste that sweetens up as the fruit becomes riper and skin wrinkled.
The fruit tend to come out small, but have been highly resistant to mango bacterial black spot thus far. The tree produces reasonably well for us, and has been a mid-season mango here normally maturing from late June into July.
Flavor: Classic
Country: Mexico
