Grafted  Banilejo:

Description:
The grafted Mango Banilejo (Mangifera indica) is a popular mango cultivar known for its deliciously sweet and juicy fruits. This tropical tree typically reaches a maximum height of 30 to 40 feet, with a spreading canopy that can span up to 25 feet. The tree has an upright growth habit with dense foliage, featuring large, leathery leaves that are dark green and glossy. The Mango Banilejo is a grafted variety, meaning it is cultivated by joining the stem of a selected mango tree (the scion) onto the rootstock of another mango tree. This process ensures desirable fruit characteristics and disease resistance.

Fruit:
The fruits of the Mango Banilejo are large and oval-shaped, with smooth, yellow-green skin when ripe. They are renowned for their exceptionally sweet and aromatic flavor, boasting notes of tropical sweetness with hints of citrus and peach. The flesh is succulent, fiberless, and vibrant orange-yellow in color, encasing a single large seed at the center. Rich in vitamins A and C, as well as dietary fiber, mangoes offer numerous health benefits, including improved digestion, boosted immunity, and healthier skin.

Tree Care:
To cultivate a Mango Banilejo tree, plant it in a location with full sun exposure, ensuring well-drained soil with good organic content. When planting, allow ample space for the tree to spread its canopy. Regular watering is essential, especially during dry periods and when the tree is fruiting. Fertilize the tree with a balanced fertilizer formulated for fruit trees to promote healthy growth and fruit production. Prune the tree annually to maintain its shape and size, removing dead or diseased branches and thinning out crowded areas to improve air circulation.

Interesting Fact:
Mango Banilejo is named after its place of origin, Baní, a city in the Dominican Republic known for its vibrant mango cultivation. This variety is highly prized in tropical regions for its exceptional flavor and productivity.

Growing in Containers:
Mango Banilejo can also be grown in containers, making it suitable for those with limited space or cooler climates. Choose a large container with drainage holes, filled with a well-draining potting mix. Place the container in a sunny spot, such as a patio or balcony, and water regularly, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Fertilize container-grown mangoes regularly during the growing season, following the instructions on the fertilizer package.
