Colomb Mango

Colomb Mango

A famous traditional Sri Lankan mango cultivar highly popular in South India for producing medium-sized, oblong-oval green fruits with soft, deep orange, fiberless pulp that delivers an intensely sweet, aromatic tropical flavor.

Grafted trees adapt exceptionally well to container culture and small home garden spaces, maintaining a dwarf to semi-dwarf canopy structure and bearing abundant clusters of sweet mangoes within just 1 to 2 years!

Description

Colomb Mango / Kolomb Mango (Mangifera indica ‘Colomb’) grows best in 6–8 hours of direct sunlight and thrives in warm, tropical climates. Water regularly during the early growth stage, allowing the topsoil to dry slightly between watering sessions once established. It prefers fertile, well-drained loamy soil enriched with organic matter. Avoid waterlogging and ensure good air circulation around the tree to support healthy growth and fruit production.

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.
