Mangifera Casturi (Kasturi) scions available

I'm taking down most of a m. casturi tree (obtained from Squam). Lots of scions available. Tree has fruited. Will prep upon sale. $30 for 7 scions, plus shipping and handling. PM if interested.

Thanks FLDan! Will start prepping and contact you soon.

Hey MK. M. casturi tastes like an Indian mango to me, but funkier with some other flavor(s). Some have mentioned lychee flavor, which I get. Eaten early, it is nice. Overripe, it gets too weird for my taste.

Small fruit and decent sized seed, limited flesh and a bit of stringy fiber.
