Saranga Mango Grafted Hybrid Plant

The Saranga mango (also known as Sarhi) is a premium, rare variety of mango primarily grown in the Murshidabad district of West Bengal, India. Historically, it holds a place of prestige; legends suggest it was named after the "Sarangi" players who performed at the courts of the Nawabs, where this mango was a prized delicacy.

Below is a detailed description of its characteristics:

1. Fruit Characteristics
Taste & Aroma: It is famous for its intense sweetness (high sugar content) and a rich, alluring tropical fragrance. It is often described as a "dessert-class" mango.

Texture: The pulp is fiberless, smooth, and creamy, providing a "melt-in-the-mouth" experience.

Appearance: The fruit is typically small to medium-sized (weighing between 150g and 250g). When ripe, the skin turns a vibrant golden-yellow.

Skin: It has relatively thin skin, which makes it easy to peel but also contributes to a delicate shelf life.

2. Tree & Growth Features
Size: The tree is relatively compact, making it an excellent choice for home gardens, small orchards, and even high-density planting.

Fruiting: It is an early-fruiting variety; grafted saplings often begin bearing fruit within 2 to 3 years of planting.

Resilience: The variety is known to be somewhat drought-tolerant once established and shows better resistance to certain common pests compared to some commercial varieties.

3. Season & Availability
Harvest Period: It is a mid-season variety.

Peak Months: Flowering typically occurs from January to March, with the fruit reaching maturity and peak flavor in June and July.
