Does anyone know characteristics of the Rataul Mango?
« on: July 04, 2017, 03:30:49 PM »
I recently sampled a Rataul mango and was wondering if anyone could add any thought as to the characteristics such as disease resistance, production, tree vigor, and season. It was a great tasting mango, but I never heard of it other than an article talking about the disputed origin between India and Pakistan.

You sure there is an actual variety by that name and it not just a local commonly grown mango (seedling?) from the Village of Rataul?

If you search up Rataul Mango there is a story about its disputed origin between India and Pakistan.
