All Details

I am an elite, modern hybrid mango variety, widely celebrated for my stunning appearance and exceptionally high sugar content. I produce medium-to-large, oblong fruits that are famous for their deep purple-to-crimson skin, which makes me stand out as one of the most beautiful mangoes in the orchard. My flesh is a vibrant deep orange, completely fiberless, and offers a rich, honey-like sweetness that often exceeds traditional varieties.

I am a premium, high-yielding hybrid variety known for my intense skin coloration, excellent shelf life, and my ability to bear fruit consistently even in varying weather conditions.

I was developed by the Central Institute for Subtropical Horticulture (CISH) in Lucknow, India, as a cross between the colorful Amrapali and the majestic Sensastion varieties.

I require deep and regular watering during my flowering and fruit-set stages, though I prefer well-drained soil to maintain the health of my roots and the quality of my fruit.

I am a sun-lover; I need full, direct sunlight for at least 8 to 10 hours a day to develop my signature "Deepshikha" (flame-like) purple-red pigments and high Brix sweetness.

I thrive in warm, subtropical to tropical climates between 24°C and 38°C and am well-adapted to the intense heat of the North Indian summers.

I have a moderately vigorous growth habit and perform best in deep, fertile, and well-draining loamy soil with plenty of space for my canopy to spread and soak up the sun.

I appreciate a rich diet of organic compost in the winter and a potassium-heavy fertilizer in the early spring to enhance my fruit color, size, and sugar levels.

My scientific name is Mangifera indica 'Deepshikha' and I belong to the Anacardiaceae family.

My deep orange flesh is a safe treat for pets, but keep them away from my leaves and sap, which contain irritants, and ensure the pit is never ingested.

My dense, evergreen foliage acts as a natural air filter, absorbing carbon dioxide and providing oxygen while offering cooling shade to your garden.

I am a nutritional powerhouse rich in Vitamin A and antioxidants, and my stunning color makes me a highly valuable "table mango" for both home use and premium exports.

I am generally more resistant to common physiological disorders than many older varieties, but I should be monitored for mango hoppers and protected from heavy rains during harvest.

I am a sturdy and long-lived perennial tree that can continue to provide you with "royal" purple harvests for 40 to 60 years with proper care.

Everyday: from 8:00AM to 6:00PM
