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.

This mango is from Cuba, commonly grown in the area around Santiago de Cuba, and has existed in name there since the 19th century.
It received some attention from being promoted by Fairchild Garden in 2016 when the theme of their mango festival was 'Mangos of Cuba'. Difficult to find in Florida, we planted a tree in 2017 for evaluation. It fruited for the first time in 2019, and has fruited every year since.
The fruit is small, roundly shaped and yellow at maturity. The flesh is yellow, with a modest amount of fiber and a flavor somewhat similar to a very mild Pickering mango.
We have found Bizcochuelo's fruit AND foliage to be highly prone to anthracnose even in our coastal zone and do not recommend it for interior or high humid areas for this reason. In fact, we consider it to be one of our most disease-prone varieties, as it is susceptible to powdery mildew and bacterial black spot disease as well.
The tree is a moderately vigorous grower with vertical, dense canopy.
It is an early season mango ripening from late May to early July here. The tree flowers very easily in West Palm Beach.
