Banganapalli or Kesar mango
« on: April 21, 2017, 05:15:48 PM »
Which mango tree you will choose if you have limited space, Banganapalli or Kesar ?.

I tried both a few years ago, and I found Kesar mango is better. However, I would like to hear more opinions about it.

Thanks
Moh'd

I have tasted both. Taste-wise, Kesar is way better. Kesar is a fairly vigorous tree. I do not know anything about the vigpr of a Banganapalli tree.

Banganapali is very good and has an especially strong aroma. But I like Kesar's flavor more.

I like Kesar much better than Banganpalli. Kesar is more complex to my palate

Can I launch cruise missiles at that list , hehe  ;D

Although I like Madam Francique/francine  I would not put it on a top 10 list.  and never over a Kesar.   and Valencia Pride second only to Alphonso? . 

I wish I could weigh in on the Bananpalli vs Kesar,    but I have only tried the Kesar.    This is an excellent fruit,  I think the tree adapts well to different growing locations,  since I have read it is producing good fruit in Florida, and I know they grow well here in the D.R.   I would recommend the "Jumbo Kesar" over the regular.  just bigger fruit..   same quality otherwise.
