I don't see any discussions about this variety here. How do you like it?
Description from Toptrop:
"Originated in the Andhra Pradesh region of South India and is considered as one of the finest dessert mangos in the country. The fruit are large, averaging 14 to 16 oz. They are oblique-oblong. The skin color is green, even when ripe, and is overlaid with characteristic corky dots covering the fruit surface. As with most other fine dessert mangos of India, 'Alampur Baneshan' is best harvested hard-green and ripened at room temperature. In this manner one can expect an exceptional, multi-leveled flavor, from the deep and resinous to the intensely sweet. This is a mango for the true connoisseur, not the beginner, as its flavor could prove to be overpowering to the unaccustomed palate. The fruit are uncommon outside of India and due to its green skin color, yield limitations and propensity for pre-harvest splitting, it is improbable that they will enter into international export markets."
I had this grafted tree in ground for 10 years or more and it's only 36" tall with most wippy branches huggin the ground. Leaves are very small: 2" wide x 6" long. A very slow grow plant. I had grafted a few brands on other rootstocks (from seedlings) and the grafts are slow grower compared other variety.
I had eaten a few good fruits and here is my feedback: it's one of the top on my list, over LZ. When ripe the flesh is pale yellow unattractive, no aroma outside. But it's a shock when it's inside my mouth: creamy like avocado with absolute no hint of fibers; very sweet but balanced taste, and the aroma (sensed by mouth/tongue and not nose) of the taste is so powerful -- almost like durian fruit and creamy. The fruits are bigger than Kent, and the flowers looking so strange compared to other mangoes. I called it durian mango in my family.
