Three Taste Mango

A celebrated exotic Thai cultivar popular in Kerala terrace orchards, famous for its unique ability to deliver three distinct flavor profiles across different ripening stages—crisp, mild, and tart when raw; sweet, tangy, and refreshing at mid-maturity; and intensely sweet, fiberless, and honeyed with a golden pulp when fully ripe.

Grafted trees adapt exceptionally well to container gardening and terrace setups when tip-pruned regularly, maintaining a compact branching structure and fruiting dependably within just 1 to 2 years!

Description

Three Taste Mango is a tropical mango variety associated with a distinctive flavour profile. 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 deep, fertile, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Water regularly during the early growth stage, but avoid waterlogging around the roots. Once established, the tree can tolerate short dry periods. Provide enough space for healthy canopy development and prune dead or overcrowded branches when necessary. Good sunlight and proper care help promote 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.
