Kalapadi Mango Plant-Grafted Live Plant I Fruiting in 1 Year

Kalapadi mangoes are a small to medium-sized varietal, generally smaller than other Indian commercial cultivars, and are oval to oblong in shape with one curved to small, pointed end. The variety averages 100 to 200 grams in weight at harvest and has thick, smooth, and taut skin. The mangoes ripen from green to a variegated blend of green and golden yellow hues, and even when ripe, the fruit may have some green present. The skin also features a powdery coating naturally produced by the fruits to keep pests away, and prominent tiny dots are scattered across the surface. Underneath the skin, the dark orange to yellow-orange flesh is dense, low in fiber, and aqueous with a tender, succulent, and soft consistency. The flesh also encases a central, flat, inedible seed that is typically discarded during consumption. Kalapadi mangoes only release a subtle scent when ripe and should feel heavy for their size. The fruits have a high sugar content, ranging from 19 to 22 Brix, creating a sweet taste combined with tangy, tropical, fruity, and spice-filled nuances.
