All Details
I am considered the "King of Mangoes" in West Bengal and Bangladesh, famous for my divine aroma and unparalleled sweetness. I produce medium-sized, oval fruits that maintain a greenish-yellow skin even when fully ripe. My flesh is a vibrant orange-yellow, completely fiberless, and possesses a unique, creamy consistency that melts in the mouth like a fine dessert.
I am a premium, early-to-mid-season mango variety highly prized for my rich, musky aroma and my exceptionally high sugar content, making me a favorite for fresh consumption.
I originated in the Hooghly and Murshidabad regions of West Bengal, India, and have been a cultural icon of the Bengali summer for generations.
I need regular, deep watering during my flowering and fruit-setting stages, but watering should be limited as the fruit matures to ensure the sugars are concentrated.
I thrive in full, direct sunlight for 8 to 10 hours a day, which is essential for me to develop my characteristic sweetness and intense internal color.
I prefer warm, humid tropical climates between 24°C and 38°C and am well-adapted to the alluvial plains of the Ganges delta.
I grow best in deep, fertile, well-draining loamy soil and require an open, sunny space to allow my large, spreading canopy to develop.
I benefit from a balanced application of organic manure in late autumn and a potassium-rich fertilizer in early spring to improve fruit size and quality.
My scientific name is Mangifera indica 'Himsagar' and I belong to the Anacardiaceae family.
My fruit flesh is safe for pets in moderation, but my sap, leaves, and pit contain natural irritants and should be kept away from them.
My large, dense evergreen canopy is a powerful air filter, absorbing carbon dioxide and providing significant cooling shade in humid environments.
I am a high-value fruit rich in Vitamin A and C, and I am particularly famous for being the best variety for making traditional mango sweets and preserves.
I can be susceptible to fruit flies and anthracnose during the monsoon, so I require careful monitoring and good air circulation around the tree.
I am a long-lived and sturdy perennial tree that can provide legendary harvests for 40 to 60 years with proper care.
