Mango (Grafted) - Mallika

About Mango (Grafted) - Mallika

Mango Mallika is a grafted hybrid variety (a cross of Neelum and Dasheri, developed in India) known for its large fruit size and rich, sweet flavour. Like other mangoes, it is an evergreen tropical tree with glossy, dense foliage.

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

As a grafted plant, it typically begins fruiting 2-3 years after planting.

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.
