I am a high-yielding, premium hybrid variety known for my superior pulp quality and my habit of bearing fruit regularly every year.

I was developed by the Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI) as a cross between the Neelam and Dasheri varieties, combining the best traits of both parents.

I need regular, deep watering during my flowering and fruit-set stages, but I prefer a drier soil period as I approach maturity to intensify my sugars.

I thrive in full, direct sunlight for 8 to 10 hours a day to develop my high carotene content and rich, complex aroma.

I love warm, tropical to subtropical environments between 24°C and 38°C and am quite resilient to the intense heat of the summer months.

I have a naturally semi-dwarf and manageable growth habit, making me an excellent choice for home gardens and high-density planting in well-draining soil.

I enjoy a balanced diet of organic compost and a potassium-rich fertilizer during the growing season to support my heavy fruit production and enhance fruit size.

My scientific name is Mangifera indica 'Mallika' and I belong to the Anacardiaceae family.

My fruit flesh is safe for pets, but keep them away from my sap and leaves, which can be irritating, and ensure the pit is never ingested.

My lush, evergreen canopy provides a constant supply of oxygen and works efficiently to filter carbon dioxide and dust from the air.

I am an extraordinary source of Vitamin A and fiber, and my fruit is often preferred for high-end culinary uses due to my intense flavor and lack of stringiness.

I am generally disease-resistant, but my fruit is best picked slightly early and ripened in a box to achieve my peak flavor and avoid "internal breakdown."

I am a long-lived and reliable perennial tree that can provide you with gourmet-quality harvests for 40 to 60 years.
