Kasturi Mango (Mangifera Casturi) Plant for Outdoor Gardening

Plant Characteristics and Features

• Variety: Kasturi Mango (also known as Black Mango), a rare and exotic variety cherished for its unique appearance and exquisite flavor.
• Fruit: Known for its distinctive dark purple to black skin when ripe. The inner flesh is deep orange, fiberless, intensely sweet, and highly aromatic.
• Type: Grafted plant, which ensures the best variety characteristics and allows the tree to start bearing fruit earlier (typically within 1-4 years under optimal conditions).
• Growth Habit: A medium-sized tree with a dense canopy, suitable for both backyard planting and growing in large pots on terraces.
• Maintenance: A low maintenance fruit plant, making it an excellent choice for both experienced and novice gardeners in India.

Sunlight and Water Requirements

• Sunlight: This plant requires Full Sun. Place it in a location where it can receive a minimum of 6 to 8 hours of direct, bright sunlight daily to ensure optimal growth and fruit production.
• Water Needs: Water moderately and deeply. Check the soil moisture and water when the topsoil (1-2 inch) is dry to the touch. Avoid overwatering or letting the pot stand in water, as good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.

Essential Care Tips

• Soil: Plant in rich, well-drained, and fertile soil. Loamy soil enriched with organic matter works best.
• Fertilization: Apply a balanced fruit plant fertilizer or organic compost every 2-3 months during the main growing season to promote healthy flowering and fruiting.
• Pruning: Prune the plant as needed to remove any dead or infected branches and to maintain a strong, open canopy for better air circulation.
