Amrapali Mango Grafted Hybrid Plant

The Amrapali mango is one of India's most successful hybrid mango varieties.1 Developed in 1971 at the Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI) in Delhi, it is a cross between the Dashehari (known for sweetness) and Neelum (known for its regular bearing and late season).2Below is a detailed description of its characteristics:1. Appearance and TextureFruit Size: Medium-sized and typically oblong, weighing between 250g to 350g.3Skin Color: Interestingly, the skin often stays greenish-yellow even when fully ripe, sometimes developing a slight reddish blush on the side exposed to the sun.4Flesh: The pulp is a striking deep orange-red.5 It is famous for being almost entirely fiberless, giving it a smooth, "melt-in-your-mouth" texture.6Stone: It has a relatively small and thin stone, leading to a high pulp-to-seed ratio.72. Flavor ProfileTaste: It is exceptionally sweet with a rich, "earthy" flavor.8 Because it inherits the best of its parents, it has a high sugar content balanced with a mild, pleasant aroma.Nutritional Boost: It is uniquely high in 9$\beta$-carotene (Vitamin A), containing approximately 2.5 to 3 times more than many other commercial mango varieties.103. Tree and Growth HabitsDwarf Nature: The Amrapali is a semi-dwarf tree, making it the gold standard for High-Density Planting (HDP).11 While traditional mango trees need 10–12 meters of space, Amrapali can be planted as close as 2.5 meters apart.Bearing Habit: It is a "regular bearer," meaning it produces a consistent crop every year, unlike some varieties that only fruit heavily every other year (alternate bearing).12Suitability: Because of its compact size, it is the most popular choice for kitchen gardens, terraces, and balcony pots.13
