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 came from the breeding program of David Sturrock in West Palm Beach, FL and was a cross between an Edward and a Philippine mango. It was named Mekong due to its resemblance to "Mango Mecongensis", to which it has no relation. We have the original tree (and possibly only fruiting one) on site.
The fruit are kidney shaped, yellow, and medium sized. The flesh is firm yet fiberless, orange in color and has a rather unique flavor that is like a Thai mango with an Indian resinous component. It contains a polyembryonic seed. Some of our customers really enjoy this fruit's unusual profile.
It has been a relatively steady producer and the fruit are highly anthracnose resistant too. It also appears to be resistant to mango bacterial black spot.
Mekong is a mid-season mango usually ripening from late June through July. The tree is very old and has a kind of vertically-orientated growth habit with dense canopy.
Flavor: Indochinese hybrid
Country: Florida - USA
