Dusari Mango Tree Grafted ( mid Season )

Dusari North Indian Mango, Yellow – Island Gardeners Nursery

Dasheri mangoes trace their origins to the 18th century in the village of Dasheri, near Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh, India, within the famed Malihabad mango belt. Legend attributes its discovery to a seedling planted in the orchard of Nawab Mohammad Khan Saab, a local noble under Mughal rule, though exact records are scarce. By the 19th century, it had spread across northern India, becoming a prized variety for its flavor and texture. Its fame grew during British colonial times, with grafts distributed to other mango-growing regions like Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh. Today, Dasheri dominates Uttar Pradesh’s mango production—often called the “King of Mangoes” alongside Alphonso—and is cultivated in Pakistan, Nepal, and parts of the Middle East and U.S. (e.g., Florida), prized for its heritage and taste.

Dasheri mangoes are medium-sized, typically weighing 8-12 ounces (250-350 grams), with an elongated, slightly curved shape and a pointed tip. Their skin is thin, smooth, and transitions from green to a golden-yellow when ripe, often with a faint pink or red blush near the stem. The flesh is a vibrant orange, succulent, and notably fiber-free, encasing a single, flat, monoembryonic seed that’s smaller than many cultivars, maximizing edible yield. Ripening from June to July in India, it’s a mid-season variety with a strong, sweet aroma. The taste is intensely sweet and rich, with a creamy texture and subtle hints of citrus and honey, lacking the tartness of some mangoes, making it a dessert-like treat.
