Amrapali mango is a popular hybrid variety developed in India. It is known for its sweet, flavorful taste and small to medium size. This mango variety was created by crossing two well-known varieties: Dasheri and Neelum. The Amrapali mango is prized for its excellent taste, high fruit yield, and longer shelf life compared to many other mango varieties.

1. Characteristics of Amrapali Mangoes:

• Flavor and Texture: Amrapali mangoes are known for their sweet and aromatic flavor, with a hint of tanginess. The flesh is deep orange, juicy, and fiberless, making it ideal for fresh consumption. The mango has a soft and smooth texture, with a small seed, resulting in more edible flesh.
• Appearance: The Amrapali mango is smaller in size compared to other popular varieties, with an oblong to oval shape. The skin is greenish-yellow when ripe, sometimes with a reddish blush. The mangoes typically weigh between 150 to 250 grams.

2. Plant Characteristics:

• Tree Size: Amrapali mango trees are typically smaller and more compact than other mango varieties, making them suitable for high-density planting and backyard gardens. They usually grow up to 10 to 15 feet (3 to 4.5 meters) tall, depending on the growing conditions.
• Leaves: The leaves are long, lanceolate, and dark green with a glossy texture. They are arranged alternately on the branches.
• Flowers: The mango tree produces small, yellowish-white flowers in clusters known as panicles during the flowering season. These flowers are fragrant and attract pollinators.
