Indigenous mango varieties for next year

 Decided to grow mango saplings to a good height of 5 feet or more and then plant in the rainy season. The reason for this decision was that few mango saplings planted were lost in the summer. If they are very strong plants, chances of loosing them is less.

I have few plants from last season...These are Karthikeyan, Dukran, IMCP Kilichundan, Cheriya Priyur etc...Few plants like DS Red, Thiruvarambu, Gira,Lalitha and Kuttiadi.

Also collected some seeds of another variety which is said to be of good taste, would like to grow them for an year and plant throughout the farm.
