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.

Coconut Cream was selected by Gary Zill from his breeding program in Boynton Beach, FL. It is one of only a few patented mangos in existence, and was a cross between the 'Edward' and 'Gary'.
It has become famous for its pronounced coconut flavor coupled with a rich sweetness. This trait has made Coconut Cream a very highly demanded mango; unfortunately the production from the trees thus far has been somewhat disappointing. They have developed a reputation for taking a long time to start producing well, possibly 5 to 7 years in many cases. This can be due to producing too many male flowers and also from dropping excessive amounts of developing fruit when the trees are still young. Evetually Coconut Cream can become reasonably productive however.
The fruit are medium sized, oval shaped with a bumpy surface and yellow, developing some pinkish blush.
The flesh is soft, light yellow, fiberless and goes overripe rather quickly. The seed is small and polyembryonic.
The trees have rather unwieldy, spreading growth habits and are fairly vigorous growers. They are early/mid-season mangos, ripening primarily from June through July.
Due to the active patent, we do not produce Coconut Cream trees or sell scions from them, but we do sell the fruit.
