What makes it special in the Palmer Mango Plant?
- It is a new emerging variety of mango from Florida, and nowadays it is growing successfully in India.
- It is a late-ripening variety of mango, which means it ripens between July and September.
- Its plant is neither too tall nor too dwarf; it is of medium size, and the fruits are of a red-purple colour when ripe.
Light conditions: more than 6 hours of direct sunlight.
Watering Schedule: Water when the topsoil (2–3 inches) feels dry to the touch. Always maintain moisture near the root zone, especially during the flowering season. Stop watering 1 month before harvesting as it reduces the sweetness of mangoes.
Soil Type: The soil should be well-draining, fertile, and rich in organic material.
Fertilizer use: initially apply any organic fertilizer once a month for 1 year. Apply any organic fertilizer after full establishment (2–3 times in a year) or before flowering.
Plant Protection: The main problem with mango is alternate fruiting. This can be controlled by using Paclobutrazol on non-bearing fruit trees during the first fortnight of September, which will induce flowering and fruit yield during off years.
