“Apple” Mango Fruit Seedling
Botanical name: Mangifera indica ‘Apple’
Common names: Apple Mango
Apple Mango (Mangifera indica) is one of Kenya’s most popular mango varieties, known for its round, bright yellow-to-reddish skin and fiber-free, juicy flesh. When underripe, it has a crisp bite—much like an apple—which gives it its name. In contrast, Tommy Atkins Mango is an imported hybrid, favoured for its long shelf life, deep red-green skin, and firm (but often fibrous) flesh.
Grafted apple mango trees fruit sooner—within 3 to 4 years—unlike seed-grown ones that take 6 to 8 years. They faithfully replicate the mother plant’s flavour, texture, and size. Ideal for local markets, their smooth, sweet flesh is popular with vendors, though they’re less suited for export due to their shorter shelf life.
– A grafted Apple mango seedling, soil, plastic bag (not potted) or with terracotta pot with drainage hole (potted)
– Organically grown in Kenya, shipped only within Kenya
– Under no circumstances must the graft union ever be in contact with the soil or with mulching material if applied. May repotted tree after 3 years or place in the shamba in well drained fertile soil.
Average height of seedling 50 cm height 60 cm diameter, pot size is 12″ x 12″
