Mango (Grafted) - Banaganpalli / Baneshan

About Mango Banaganpalli

Banaganpalli (also called Baneshan, Chapta, Safeda or Badam Aam) is a commercial South Indian mango variety known for its large, obliquely oval fruit with golden-yellow, thin skin and firm, fibre-free, sweet flesh. Botanically Mangifera indica of the Anacardiaceae family - the same tree India calls the King of Fruits.

Growing Conditions

• Sunlight: More than 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
• Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil rich in organic content, ideal pH 6.5-8.
• Climate: Tropical to subtropical; ideal temperature 26-35°C.

Planting & Spacing

Grows well in a large pot (minimum 25x25 inch) or directly in the ground. Best planting window: June-July in low-rainfall areas, October-November in high-rainfall areas.

Care

• Watering: Water when the top 2-3 inches of soil feel dry; keep soil moist near the root zone especially during flowering. Stop watering 30 days before harvest to improve sweetness.
• Fertilizer: Young plants need more nitrogen; after fruiting begins, shift to higher phosphorus and potassium (e.g. 5-8-10 organic mix), applied 45-90 cm from the trunk, 2 months before flowering.
• Pruning: Remove damaged branches after transit; alternate bearing can be managed with a first-fortnight-of-September treatment to induce flowering in off years.

Fruiting & Harvest

Grafted Banaganpalli typically fruits 2-3 years after planting, with flowering starting November in South India and February-March in North India (100-150 days flower to fruit). Harvest season runs March to mid-August.

Note: This listing ships a young nursery plant, not a fruiting tree. Time to first fruit and yield vary by climate, care, and region - we don't promise a fixed timeline. Mango tree sap can cause mild skin irritation in sensitive individuals (same plant family as poison ivy) - handle pruning cuts with care. The fruit itself is completely safe to eat.
