The taste of the fruit is sweet with a fragrant aroma and has soft flesh without fiber and considered approximately 82 percent of the fruit.

The best time to plant a mango tree is in end of the monsoon season when the weather is still mild. However, be sure it will not be exposed to any freezing point. Mango trees prefer a sunny spot with loose, well-draining soil. Make sure to consider the tree's mature size when selecting a planting site.

BLOOMING YEAR - In South India it starts from October to November and North India starts from January to Feburary. It takes 100-140 days from flower to fruit development.

FRUITING TIME- Edible fruiting will start after 1.5-2 years after purchase. Sometimes you will get the plant with fruit, but do not encourage till 1.5-2years to make the plant physically strong.

No watering is done 30 days before harvest.
Mango trees need higher doses of nitrogen when young, but after they begin to bear fruit, they need less. At that time, they need higher doses of phosphorus and potassium, which promote flowering and fruiting.
Use a commercial organic fertilizer with a high percentage of potassium, such as 5-8-10, for fruit-bearing trees, or apply these nutrients with organic materials.
Compost is a good organic source of both phosphorus and potassium. You can also use rock phosphate, guano, blood meal, or bone meal to provide phosphorus, and seaweed to provide potassium.
