Bhastara Mango

Bhastara Mango

An exotic, highly productive off-season and multi-bearing Indian mango cultivar prized for producing medium-to-large fruits (250-350 g) that turn golden-yellow when ripe, featuring soft, saffron-colored, sweet, and aromatic pulp with a thin seed.

Grafted plants adapt exceptionally well to container culture and small home gardens due to their upright, easily manageable growth habit, bearing multiple fruit crops throughout the year starting within just 1 to 2 years of planting.

Description

Bhastara Mango / Vastara Alltime Mango (Mangifera indica ‘Bhastara’) grows best in 6–8 hours of direct sunlight and thrives in warm, tropical climates. It produces medium-to-large, golden-yellow fruits with soft, saffron-colored, sweet, aromatic pulp and a thin seed. Grafted plants have an upright, manageable growth habit, making them suitable for containers and small home gardens. Under favorable conditions, they may begin fruiting within 1–2 years and produce multiple crops throughout the year. Use fertile, well-drained soil and water regularly during early growth, avoiding waterlogging.

Recommended Planting Method for Best Results

For healthy growth and strong establishment, prepare a 2–3 ft deep pit. If available, place a layer of green leaves at the bottom. Mix 1.5 kg bone meal, 1 kg oil cake, 20 kg raw cow or goat dung, and 100 g urea with an equal quantity of soil, then fill the pit and cover it with soil.

Leave the pit for about one month, watering it daily so the mixture decomposes well. After one month, mix the contents again and add 100 g calcium or dolomite. Wait one more week, then plant the sapling.

If you need to plant immediately and cannot wait for the one-month decomposition period, do not add oil cake or calcium/dolomite; use only the soil, manure, bone meal, and urea mixture for planting.
