Kesar Mango Tree
The Kesar Mango Tree, a gem from the Indian subcontinent, has been adorning gardens and pleasing palates since the early 1900s. This medium-sized tree is renowned for its adaptability to various climates, making it a favorite among mango enthusiasts worldwide.
The tree exhibits a moderately vigorous growth pattern, forming a dense and compact canopy. It thrives best in open ground, reaching an optimal height of 10-15 feet with regular pruning. Unlike its Indian counterpart, Alphonso, Kesar is more suited to U.S. climates, yielding consistently good crops.
The Kesar Mango, small to medium in size, weighs between 0.5-1.5 lbs. Its unique Indian flavor sets it apart from other mango varieties. The fruit, when mature, boasts a clean yellow skin that can develop a stunning pinkish-red blush with ample sun exposure, resembling the Pim Saen Mun Mangos.
The real magic lies within the fruit. Cutting into a Kesar Mango reveals a deep orange, fiberless flesh, a hallmark of this variety. The texture is incredibly smooth, making it one of the top commercial varieties available. The flavor profile is a delightful mix of sweet and spicy, with a rich, honey-like sweetness and complex notes of spices. The absence of acidic components enhances the pure, fruity flavor, making it a top choice for those seeking a strong Indian-flavored Mango.
Harvested in mid-season (June-July), Kesar Mangos are best picked when mature green on the tree. They have an excellent shelf life and ripen evenly off the tree, making them a forgiving variety for growers. In India, they are typically ripened in warm areas and can remain fresh for up to 2-3 weeks post-harvest.
The Kesar Mango Tree is resistant to Anthracnose, making it suitable for more humid areas. The name “Kesar” translates to “saffron” in Hindi, a nod to its saffron-colored flesh. Its rich flavor and vibrant color have led to its adoption by commercial farms, and it continues to be grown on a large scale today.
