Mango (Grafted) - Totapuri

About Mango Totapuri

Mango (Mangifera indica) is an attractive, evergreen tropical tree with glossy, dense foliage. Totapuri is a popular South Indian variety, prized for its tangy flavour and firm flesh, well suited to pickles, salads and juices as well as fresh eating. Growing a mango tree at home gives you a lifetime of fresh fruit from an attractive shade tree.

Growing Conditions

• Sunlight: More than 6 hours of direct sunlight.
• Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil, ideal pH 6.5-8.
• Climate: Tropical and 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; stop watering 30 days before harvest to improve sweetness.
• Fertilizer: Higher nitrogen while young; shift to phosphorus and potassium once fruiting begins, applied before the flowering season.
• Pruning: Remove damaged branches; manage alternate bearing with a first-fortnight-of-September treatment in off years.

Fruiting & Harvest

A grafted Totapuri typically fruits in 2-3 years.

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.
