Dasheri Mango Grafted Sapling

In the 18th century, the Dasheri mango variety initially graced the gardens of the Nawab of Lucknow. Since that time, Dasheri plants have been cultivated and distributed across various regions of India. The inhabitants of Dasheri village near Kakori, Uttar Pradesh, are the custodians of the original plant, which dates back to the orchards of Mohammad Ansar Zaidi. This venerable plant, believed to be approximately 200 years old, yields fruit in alternate years. While the size of its fruit may be smaller in comparison to its grafted counterparts, its unparalleled flavor and captivating aroma set it apart. The continuous care of the plant is entrusted to Zaidi’s descendants, and it is often affectionately known as “the Mother Dasehri.”
