Alphonso mango plants, known for producing one of the finest mango varieties, originate from the Ratnagiri, Sindhudurg, and other parts of Maharashtra, India. These plants typically grow to a height of 10-15 meters and thrive in warm, tropical climates with well-drained soil. The leaves are glossy and dark green, and the tree produces small, fragrant flowers that eventually develop into the prized Alphonso mangoes. The fruits are renowned for their rich, creamy texture, vibrant yellow-orange color, and sweet, fragrant flavor with a hint of acidity. Alphonso mangoes are often referred to as the "King of Mangoes" due to their superior taste and quality.
