Arunika Mango Plant – Early Sweet Hybrid with Tree

The Arunika Mango is a premium hybrid variety created by ICAR-CISH, Lucknow, developed by crossing Amrapali × Vanraj. Introduced around 2008, this mango variety brings together the best traits of its parents: the sweetness and deep orange pulp of Amrapali, and the attractive red-blush skin from Vanraj. With a compact, dwarf canopy and excellent adaptability to subtropical growing regions, Arunika offers fruit lovers and growers a mango that is visually appealing, flavorful, and well-suited for both home gardens and commercial orchards. The fruits are firm, juicy, and low in fibre, making this variety highly desirable for fresh eating, gifting, and even exports. Many growers appreciate Arunika for its regular bearing habit, sweet-tangy flavor and high shelf life.

🌟 Key Features & Advantages
