Indigenous mango varieties for next year

Sakhil of Nadan Mavukal facebook group gave a few seedlings advised to grow it in pots to bigger size and then plant. When small seedlings are planted they struggle to grow and also some time they are lost in the summer.

Moved them to bigger plastic bags and put some mulch in the top portion of the bags and also put some seeds of green gram. These will be planted in the farm in next rainy season.

The varieties are

1) Golden Ponnus

2) Blue Ponnus

3) Red Ponnus

4) Ivory Kolumb

5) Jaan Priyoor

6) Kunji Chelan

7) Kanimangalam

8) Sakhi
