Kasturi Mango

Kasturi Mango

A rare wild mango species originating from Kalimantan (Borneo), highly celebrated for its small, dark purple to nearly black fruits with bright orange pulp that emits an extraordinarily intense, sweet, musk-like fragrance and offers a rich, tropical flavor profile.

Grafted trees adapt exceptionally well to container culture and terrace setups, maintaining a manageable semi-dwarf structure with periodic tip-pruning and bearing fruit reliably within just 1 to 2 years!

Description

Kasturi Mango grows best in full sunlight, ideally receiving 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily. It prefers warm, humid tropical climates and fertile, deep, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Water regularly during the early growth stage, keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged. Once established, the tree can tolerate short dry periods. Provide enough space for the tree to develop a healthy canopy, and prune dead or overcrowded branches when necessary. Suitable sunlight, good drainage, and consistent care 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.
