Alphonso Mango are small mango that can weigh between 0.3 – 0.6 pounds.
When perfectly ripe and mature, the skin of the Alphonso Mango will be a deep marigold color, often accompanied by a soft pink blush on the sun-exposed shoulders of the fruit. Slicing into the fruit will reveal a creamy and tender orange flesh with a medium-firmness that is both juicy and virtually fiberless, along with an aromatic and fruity aroma.
From a flavor perspective, the Alphonso Mango offers a delicious classic Indian flavor profile. The fruit is exceptionally sweet, with its dominant flavors comprising a well-balanced combination of warm, rich spiciness and a slight acidity that imparts a delightful hint of citrus. When eaten near the skin, there is a noticeable increase in both sweetness and piney notes.

Care:
Tolerate partial sun, 4 hours per day, but they will fruit more reliably in full sun, at least 6 hours of direct light per day

Water – Water a few times a week during the warmer months and once every two weeks in winter.

Soil – Mango will grow in a wide variety of soil mixtures with excellent drainage. If your mango is going to be grown exclusively in a container the potting soil needs to be lightweight and nutritive. Start by adding bigger pieces of broken poetry (or similar) and then add a layer of crushed gravel (or similar) the soil mixture we suggest: 40% compost, 40% mulch/peat moss and 20% combination of sand and perlite.

Feed – fertilize mango spring, summer, fall. The NPK ratios on fertilizer containers list their percentages of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, in that order. Mango trees need higher doses of nitrogen when young, but after they begin to bear fruit, they need less. At that time, they need higher doses of phosphorus and potassium, which promote flowering and fruiting. Use a commercial organic fertilizer with a high percentage of potassium, such 5-8-10, for fruit-bearing trees, or apply these nutrients with organic materials. Compost is a good organic source of both phosphorus and potassium. You also can use rock phosphate, guano, blood meal or bone meal to provide phosphorus, and seaweed or potassium sulfate to provide potassium.

Temperature- Mangos enjoy average temps between low 60’s to high 90’s. Good air circulation and some light penetration is necessary for keeping the tree happy & health
