Palmer Mango Grafted Hybrid Plant

The Palmer Mango is a popular late-season variety known for its impressive size, vibrant purple-red skin, and smooth, fiberless flesh. Originating in Florida in the 1920s, it has become a staple in international markets, particularly in Brazil and India, due to its excellent shelf life and consistent quality.

🥭 Fruit Characteristics
The Palmer is easily recognized by its distinct shape and "blush" color that appears long before the fruit is actually ripe.

Appearance: Elongated and large, often weighing between 500g and 850g (some specimens reach over 1kg).

Skin Color: When ripe, the skin is golden-yellow but largely covered in a deep red or purple-crimson blush.

Flesh: Bright orange-yellow, firm, and nearly fiber-free, giving it a creamy, melt-in-the-mouth texture.

Flavor Profile: It has a mild, sweet, and aromatic flavor. It is less tangy than varieties like the Alphonso, with low acidity and subtle notes of peach and melon.

🌳 Tree & Growth Habit
Palmer trees are favored by home gardeners and commercial growers alike for their heavy production.

Growth Habit: A moderately vigorous tree with an upright, spreading canopy. It is known for having a very "open" canopy compared to other varieties.

Yield: It is a heavy producer and is generally resistant to anthracnose (a common fungal disease), though it can be susceptible to bacterial spot in very humid climates.

Seasonality: It is a late-season cultivar. In the Northern Hemisphere (like Florida), it typically ripens from July to September, helping extend the mango season after other varieties have finished.
