All Details
I am an exquisite and vibrant hybrid mango variety, widely celebrated for my "dual-purpose" appeal as both a stunning ornamental tree and a producer of gourmet-quality fruit. I produce medium-to-large, oblong fruits that are famous for their striking red-to-purple skin when ripe. My flesh is a deep, glowing orange, remarkably firm and fiberless, offering a rich, sweet flavor with a delightful mild aroma and a high pulp-to-stone ratio.
I am a high-yielding, regular-bearing hybrid variety prized for my late-season ripening and exceptional shelf life, which allows me to stay fresh for up to 10–12 days at room temperature.
I was developed by the Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI), Pusa, New Delhi, as a cross between the world-famous Amrapali and the colorful Sensation mango.
I require deep and consistent watering during my flowering and fruit-development stages, but I prefer well-drained soil to prevent root issues and ensure my sugars remain concentrated.
I am a dedicated sun-lover; I need at least 8 to 10 hours of direct sunlight daily to develop my signature deep red skin—without enough sun, I will remain mostly green.
I thrive in warm, subtropical to tropical climates between 24°C and 40°C and have shown excellent resilience to the varying temperatures of North and Central India.
I have a semi-vigorous and manageable growth habit, making me suitable for high-density planting (5m x 5m) in deep, fertile, and well-draining loamy soil.
I am a moderate feeder; I appreciate organic manures like vermicompost in the winter and a boost of potassium in early spring to enhance my fruit color and sweetness.
My scientific name is Mangifera indica 'Pusa Arunima' and I belong to the Anacardiaceae family.
My fruit flesh is safe for pets, but my sap can be quite irritating to their skin and eyes; always ensure the large pit is kept away from them to avoid choking.
My dense, glossy evergreen canopy is highly effective at absorbing carbon dioxide and providing cooling shade, making me a beautiful and functional addition to any landscape.
I am an extraordinary source of Vitamin A (Beta-carotene) and Vitamin C, and my firm flesh makes me one of the best varieties for long-distance transport and export.
I have a natural field tolerance to mango malformation, but I should be monitored for mango hoppers during flowering and fruit flies as my fruit begins to ripen.
I am a sturdy and reliable perennial tree that can continue to provide you with "scenic" red harvests for 40 to 60 years or more.
