IMPORTANT READ BEFORE Make your Grafting Request Order

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 Sri Lanka, where it is very popular and known for fruiting under wet tropical conditions. We have seen it spelled Karthi Kolomban and various other spellings also.

The fruit is oval shaped, fairly large in size and turns yellow at maturity. The flesh is yellow, fiberless, and has a mild Indochinese-type flavor.

We obtained a Karutha Colomban tree in 2017 and planted it to evaluate its flowering habit. The tree fruited for the first time in 2020. It has been a very vigorous grower with dense vertically orientated canopy. We found the fruit to have too many splitting issues and combined weiith low demand, we elected to top-work the tree in 2023, maintaing some of the original canopy to still be able to graft trees from it.

 

Flavor: Indochinese
