Katiamon Mango

Katiamon Mango

A world-famous, highly sought-after commercial cultivar originating from Thailand and exceptionally popular across Kerala, celebrated for its true “all-season” (baramasi) blooming habit—bearing heavy clusters of elongated fruits up to 3 to 4 times a year with firm, fiberless, golden-yellow pulp that boasts an exceptionally high Brix sweetness and mild, aromatic flavor.

Grafted trees adapt extraordinarily well to container gardening and terrace setups due to their naturally dwarf canopy and precocious fruiting nature, often setting fruit in pots within just 6 months to 1 year of planting!

Description

Katiamon Mango is known for its ability to flower and produce fruit multiple times under suitable growing conditions. It grows best in full sunlight, receiving at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily. The tree thrives in warm tropical climates and prefers fertile, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Water regularly while the sapling establishes, but avoid waterlogging. Once established, it can tolerate short dry periods. Prune lightly to maintain a healthy canopy and remove dead or crowded branches. Adequate sunlight and proper care help support flowering and fruit development.

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.
