Amrapali Mango Live Plant (Mangifera indica)

The 'Amrapali' mango is a named mango cultivar introduced in 1971. It was developed as a hybrid variety of 'Dasheri' and 'Neelum' by Dr. Pijush Kanti Majumdar at the Indian Agriculture Research Institute in Delhi. Since then this mango has been introduced to farms and orchards across India. Amrapali Mango was first planted in West Bengal in Chakdaha, Nadia district.

The tree is a dwarf, regular-bearer, with clusters of small-sized fruits. Its flesh is a deep orange-red and contains approximately 2.5–3.0 times more β carotene content than other commercial varieties of mango. Amrapali mangoes are small to medium-sized, and even when they are fully ripe, their skins tend to stay green. When you cut open a ripe Amrapali and look at the colour of its pulp, you will be amazed. When you bite into it, you will taste its earthy sweetness.
