Nasi Pasand Mango

An aristocratic, highly prized heritage mango cultivar (often synonymous with or closely related to Himayat / Imam Pasand) cultivated in premium Kerala orchards, famous for its exceptionally large, spherical, green-to-golden fruits with a unique thin skin. The smooth, completely fiberless, deep yellow flesh delivers an intensely rich, sweet, and aromatic flavor profile with subtle citrus-vanilla undertones.

Grafted trees adapt remarkably well to large rooftop grow bags and containers (18×18 or 24×24 inches). With regular post-harvest tip pruning to shape a low, well-branched open canopy, it thrives under full terrace sun, copes well with Kerala’s monsoon climate, and sets heavy, high-value fruit crops within just 2 to 3 years of planting!

Description

Nasi Pasand Mango is a popular mango variety known for its sweet, aromatic flesh and rich tropical flavour. The fruits typically have greenish-yellow skin when ripe and juicy flesh that is enjoyed fresh. The tree grows best in warm tropical climates and requires full sunlight for healthy growth and good fruit production. It prefers fertile, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter but can adapt to different soil types when drainage is adequate. Water regularly during the early growth stage and prolonged dry periods, while avoiding waterlogging around the roots. Once established, the tree is relatively hardy and benefits from good sunlight, proper spacing, and routine care to 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.
