Kasturi Black Mango Grafted Hybrid Plant

The Kasturi Black Mango (scientifically known as Mangifera casturi) is one of the most exotic and visually striking mango varieties in the world. Often called the "Kalimantan Mango," it is native to the rainforests of Borneo, Indonesia.

Interestingly, this species is officially classified as Extinct in the Wild by the IUCN, surviving only through cultivation by enthusiasts and home gardeners who value its unique properties.

Physical Characteristics
External Appearance: Unlike common mangoes that turn yellow or red, the Kasturi mango develops a deep purplish-black to dark maroon skin when fully ripe.

Size & Shape: The fruit is relatively small, typically measuring only 5–6 cm (roughly the size of a large plum) and weighing between 50 and 100 grams.

Inner Flesh: The pulp is a vibrant deep orange, providing a stunning contrast to the dark skin. It is remarkably smooth, juicy, and often described as being nearly fiberless.

Flavor and Aroma
Taste Profile: It offers an intense, rich sweetness that is more concentrated than a standard mango. Many describe the flavor as a complex blend of honey, passion fruit, and traditional mango, with a slight resinous or spicy undertone.

Fragrance: One of its standout features is its powerful, musky aroma. A single ripe fruit can fill an entire room with a sweet, tropical scent.
