Jakarta MANGO TREE GRAFTED 2-4 Ft Tall.Ship To CA&PR. Actual Photos
The fruit are medium-to-large sized, ovately shaped and develop and orange-red blush at maturity. They lack uniformity in shape more than most mangos. The flesh is fiberless, dark yellow, with a flavor that is sweet and resinous with many piney terpenes and spice undertones. It is a strong representation of what we call the Indian/West Indian flavor group. A flavor loved by many from India and the West Indies but at times too strong for the American palate. But we happen to love the flavor! It has a monoembryonic seed.
The trees have an earned reputation for fruiting poorly, particularly in the interior where they are very disease-prone. Along the coast they can be steady producers, and anecdotal evidence suggests that cross-pollination compatibility may have a significant influence on Jakarta's production habits.
The trees are very vigorous growers with upright, open canopies. Jakarta has a long season in south Florida and can mature from late-May into July.
