The Palmer mango (Mangifera indica ‘Palmer’) originated from a seed planted in Miami, Florida, during the early 20th century and has since become a widely cultivated variety. The fruit is elongated-oval in shape and weighs typically between 500 to 1000 grams. It ripens late in the season, usually from July to September in Florida and similar climates, making it a valuable extension crop after other varieties have finished.
Palmer mangoes mature with a distinctive deep red to purple blush, even when still green, making them visually attractive. However, they should not be picked solely based on color, as their flesh ripens internally and may still be green externally.
The pulp is orange to deep yellow, nearly fiberless, and has a mildly sweet to rich flavor with low acidity. Its firm texture and excellent shelf life make it a good choice for export and long-distance transport.
The Palmer mango, originally developed in Florida, is widely grown in tropical and subtropical regions due to its late-season harvest, large fruit size, and excellent marketability. Here’s a complete guide to its cultivation:
Factor | Requirement |
---|---|
Climate | Tropical to subtropical; frost-free |
Temperature | 24–35°C optimal; young trees sensitive to cold |
Rainfall | 1000–1500 mm annually; avoid waterlogging |
Soil Type | Well-drained sandy loam, laterite, or alluvial |
Soil pH | 5.5 to 7.5 |
Detail | Description |
---|---|
Spacing | 8 m × 8 m or 10 m × 10 m (about 100–156 trees/ha) |
Planting Time | Best during monsoon or spring (June–August) |
Pit Size | 1 m³ pits filled with topsoil + compost + neem cake |
Propagation | Grafted plants (monoembryonic seed; not true-to-type) |
Stage | Watering Needs |
---|---|
Young Trees | Irrigate every 7–10 days during dry periods |
Mature Trees | Every 15–20 days before flowering and fruiting |
Avoid | Waterlogging; drip irrigation recommended |
Age of Tree | FYM/Compost | N (g) | P (g) | K (g) | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1–3 years | 10–20 kg | 100 | 50 | 100 | Apply in split doses |
4–6 years | 25–40 kg | 250 | 125 | 250 | Apply before flowering and monsoon |
7+ years | 50 kg | 500 | 250 | 500 | Foliar sprays of micronutrients helpful |
Prune young trees to develop a strong scaffold structure.
Remove dead, diseased, and overcrowded branches after harvest.
Maintain an open canopy for good air circulation and sunlight penetration.
Begins flowering around December to February (in subtropical zones).
Fruit set and retention can be improved with:
Spraying NAA (20 ppm) at flowering
Boron and Potassium foliar sprays
