Mango (Grafted) - Dasheri

About Mango (Grafted) - Dasheri

Dasheri is a leading commercial mango variety of North India, named after the village of Dashehari near Lucknow. This grafted plant produces small-to-medium, oblong fruit with fiberless, peach-colored flesh, a very sweet and aromatic flavour, and good keeping quality.

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: Moist, tropical and subtropical climates.

Planting & Spacing

If growing in a pot, use a minimum 25x25 inch pot. Best planting time is June-July in low-rainfall areas and October-November in high-rainfall areas.

Care

• Watering: Water when the top 2-3 inches of soil feel dry; keep moisture near the root zone especially during flowering. Stop watering about 1 month before harvest to improve fruit sweetness.
• Fertilizer: Organic fertilizer monthly for the first year; 2-3 times a year (or before flowering season) once established. Young trees need more nitrogen; mature, fruiting trees need more phosphorus and potassium.
• Pruning: Minimal pruning; remove any branches damaged in transit.

Fruiting & Harvest

Blooms November onward in South India and February-March in North India, taking 100-150 days from flower to fruit. As a grafted plant, edible fruiting typically begins 1.5-2 years after purchase; the 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.
