It is most commonly grown near sea coasts or mountains, so it requires the right climate for cultivation. It sometimes requires no effort or attention to grow; it grows on itself.
If you need the seeds, you need to buy fresh Mangoes from us:
Our farms in Ratnagiri and Devgad have sections other than Alphonso Mango, where we grow a variety of Indian Mangoes for our in-house research.
Mango varieties like:
- Alphonso Mangoes—We have a tree that is like our family symbol. My grandfather's father planted it and handed it to us.
- Kesar Aam– These are the trees we planted recently for our research in Konkan.
- Payari Mango
- Dasheri Aam
- Chausa Mango
- Badami Aam
- Safeda Aam
- Bombay Green – This breed was planted here by my uncle, actually in Punjab, but later, he shifted the plant from Punjab to Ratnagiri while it was in the nursery stage
- Langra Mango
- Raspberry Mango
- Rajapuri
- Totapuri
- payari
Just if you think of fantastic nature and motherland, various mangoes come in multiple sizes, shapes, and colours. They ripen at slightly different times or continue their flowering, budding, and harvesting cycles. Each Aam has its unique flavours, aroma, and taste.
Growing mango tree from mango seed
Growing different tree varieties in the same garden is an exciting job, as you need to study various types a lot. Still, each variety has different flowering and harvest times, which is a feast for your taste buds.
You can eat fresh mangoes for a range of months, which starts in December.
This year was unfortunate due to heavy rain. Our flowering has been pushed to February, or else time we used to eat the first Mango in January instead of only a few weeks!
Understand why monkeys eat mango seeds.
Monkeys love these fruits tremendously. They eat mangoes with their sweet and tasty flesh. Not only humans but also lots of animals and birds love mangoes and the peel.
While the seeds are known as Ayurveda seeds, the Amra Beeja is known for energy boosters, which help Monkeys jump from one tree to another. Few have side effects, cautions, quantities, nutrition facts, and concerns about this fruit.
Mango Seed health benefits
Once your Alphonso mangoes are clean, the seed makes them pat dry and does two things out of them.

- Seed powder is an excellent application for bleeding disorders if used externally.
- Seed (koy in Marathi or Bata) kernel powder helps to bleed and heal wounds.

Mango forest a cause of Humanity
There is something you can return gifts to nature as a corporate social responsibility CSR activity.
You usually feel it as a headache but think of draught areas, or you drive a car nearby at least once a month. Just keep these seed bombs in your car, dickey, or carry them in trains, the bus, or wherever you see barren land. Throw these balls, and some of them will grow.
You can even try some seed plantation and carry the plants once it is healthy.
It will turn into a big plant one day, making you a landmark for a shadow sometimes.
- Collect the Alphonso Hapus seeds to make the soil balls, and put these Alphonso Hapus seeds in them; let them pat dry for some time.
- Once dried, whenever you go for any outing, throw these seeds one by one in the area, which helps in forestation for us, and let's say the tree grows in some years.
- You can tell I planted this tree.
- You usually have questions. Generally, One tree takes how long for fruiting to produce fruit approximately five(5) to Eight (8) years.
- You can help our Humanity grow forests with Humanity and fauna.

How to Plant a Mango Seed
- Take a very ripe aam; you can eat it first by peeling it and cutting the fruit away from the centre of the fruit without cutting through or damaging the seed.
- Remove any leftover mango pulp from the seed, which is called Koy in Marathi.
- Clean and wash the seed gently under running tap water.
- Carefully Cut the seed cover and open it with a sharp blade or knife with a gentle cut.
- Do this carefully, as you don't want to damage the seed inside.
- Remove the seed and throw the upper husk away.
- The seed is kidney-shaped, whitish in colour, and has a lighter area on top called the eye.
- Take a planting container and fill it with soil, preferably with coco peat mix if available. Or put the only land that makes a small drainage hole in the pots, as whatever water you put later needs to drain slowly, passing through seed and soil.
- Now, add some soil and fill the pot with the little bits, moistening it.
- Now, dig a small hollow section in the soil that you have filled. Keep the seed inside where the eye part of the seed should face upward. You can add small turmeric powder near the grain, which helps germinate and the natural health of seed sprouting.
- Cover this seed with a little bit of soil. It is said to plant the seed in summer, like in April, May, or June. It will sprout somewhere in June. The seed will start germinating in a few weeks.
- Initially, for some days, water your plant with a little lukewarm water whenever you feel the soil is a bit dry.
- As thumb rules, please understand that they don't need much water.
- Initially, you need to handle and take care of this plant as a baby later. It takes care of itself.
- Once the tree grows for two years, replant the plant in an outdoor location when it's strong enough to take care of it.
