Lemon Zest Mango – Pre-Order

• Flavor: Rich, sweet Indian-style flavor with lemon and orange-citrus notes and a sweet-tart finish.
• Texture: Juicy, smooth, fiberless yellow flesh.
• Season: Usually July–August on our Merritt Island trees.
• Tier: Rare & Collector ($197 small / $247 large).

What's in the box

One box of Lemon Zest mangoes, sold by weight: Small Box (4–5 lb) or Large Box (8–10 lb). Fruit size varies, so the number of mangoes per box varies.

Pre-order and shipping

This is a pre-order for the 2027 season. Your box ships when Lemon Zest is ripe, usually July–August. Price includes USPS Priority shipping (2–3 days) to the lower 48 states except California. We can't ship to Alaska, Hawaii or U.S. territories. If the Lemon Zest harvest comes up short, you can choose a substitute variety or store credit for the full amount (no cash refunds).

Ripening tip

Mangoes may arrive firm. Keep them at room temperature until they give slightly to gentle pressure and smell sweet at the stem end, then refrigerate to hold them a few extra days. Lemon Zest is good just ripe, when the citrus tang is brightest.
