A friend from this forum sent me a small NeelKiran Mango and I thought it was delicious. NeelKiran is the cross between an Alphonso and a Neelam. It had much firmer flesh than both Neelam and Alphonso and it had a Brix of 20%. It has more of an Alphonso influence for its flavor with a nice Indian resin flavor. I cut one side of the fruit and noticed that it did not have any spongy tissue but then I cut the other half and there was minor spongy tissue. I like NeelKiran a lot more than Alphonso but I still prefer Kesar more than any other Indian Mango(Indian resin flavor). Simon
I'm growing Neelkiran ( full name 'Arka Neelkiran') . Waiting to see how it does here in south Florida. Should be large enough to hold fruit in 2 seasons.

Among 216 other mangoes we’ve tried in the last we years, that’s pretty tough to be. A isn’t for Alphonso. It’s for Arka...
