AmrapaliTree Size, Growth Rate, Vigorousness-- dwarf
(REF)-- Amrapali is supposed to be dwarf (
http://www.fruitipedia.com/Mango.htm)
(REF)-- Mango trees to keep in container: Amrapali
(REF)-- Unfortunately Alfonso's don't do very well in the U.S. I only had a few decent ones. Amrapali grown in SoCal is much better than Alfonso. Do you have this variety in tenerife? According to sources in India Amrapali is a few years away from toppling Alfonso as the King of mangos.
(REF)-- Amrapali and Jumbo Amrapali are slow growers here but the fruit is much better than Malika and Alfonso. Alfonso has major internal breakdown and Malika is difucult to time.
here are pix of Amrapali & Jumbo Amrapali grafted next to each other and Alfonso sponge internal breakdown some turn black.
(REF)Productivity and Precociousness-- precocious, a regular and heavy bearer
(REF)Ripening Time (Location dependent)-- late in the season
(REF)Flavor / Color / Tasting Notes-- My one and only runt fruit was picked green and ripened on the counter for a week. Taste was awesome! To me, the taste is right up there with the Alphonso mango. Sorry, didn't take pictures of the cut fruit. Remembered it had deep orange color flesh.
(REF)-- From Julia Morton: "Another new hybrid, 'Amrapali', of which 'Dashehari' was the female parent and 'Neelam' the male, is definitely dwarf, precocious, a regular and heavy bearer, and late in the season. The fruit is only medium in size; flesh is rich orange, fiberless, sweet and 2 to 3 times as high in carotene as either parent."
(REF)-- Forgot to add this mango the real Amrapali
Brix 27 this is one of the sweetest I've had right there with White Chaunsa & Gary but much more complex. Reminds me of the floral taste of seacrest with a slight piney finish. We will propagate this variety next year as well as Jumbo Amrapali.
Amrapali is from the same hybrid breeding project Malika came from in India but unlike Malika you don't need to play the guessing game when to harvest it. Top 10 mango
(REF)-- This year I tasted Amrapali for the first time. The taste was excellent! In taste and texture was like the Alphonso mangos from India that I have enjoyed in the past.
