The Dasheri mango is a mango cultivar which originated in a village near Malihabad in Lucknow district in 18th century. It is a sweet and fragrant variety of mango grown in North India, the southern state Andhra Pradesh, Nepal, and Pakistan. Malihabad in Uttar Pradesh is the largest producer.[1]
History
Dasheri mango was first grafted in the 18th century by Abdul Hameed Khan Kandhari[2] in his "Hamidiya" plant nursery. He used a seedling from a mango tree that resembled the Dasheri variety in appearance but differed in taste. This original tree was located in the gardens of the Nawab of Dasheri village. When Abdul Hameed Khan Kandhari, the zamindar of Malihabad, learned about the tree, he requested permission from the owner to take its saplings. He conducted extensive research and, using his deep knowledge, grafted it with another plant to create a new variety of mango, which he named after the village—Dasheri.
Since then, Dasheri mango plants have been cultivated and planted across India. The mother plant, from which the original Dasheri variety was developed, still exists in Dasheri village near Kakori, Lucknow. The first orchard of Dasheri mangoes was established in Allupur, Malihabad, and the legacy of Abdul Hameed Khan Kandhari continues to be preserved by the Kandhari Pathans of Malihabad. The mother plant is believed to be over 300 years old.
This mango has the ability to get the attention. Its flavor and aroma are unmatched.[3]
