{"product_id":"mango-tree-alphonso-grafted-copy-10-bag","title":"Mango Tree (Grown through seed) - 10\" Grow bag","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Mango is India's national fruit and one of the country's most cherished trees, celebrated as the 'King of Fruits'. Native to the Indian subcontinent, this large evergreen tree bears glossy green foliage, fragrant clusters of small flowers, and the famous sweet, juicy fruits in summer. Grafted varieties like Alphonso, Kesar, Dasheri and Langra fruit faster and stay more compact, making them suitable even for large pots and terrace gardens. Beyond its prized fruit, the mango tree carries deep cultural and religious significance in India, its leaves used in toranas and auspicious ceremonies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFamily\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAnacardiaceae\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eNative region\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIndian subcontinent\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMature height\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3–10 m (grafted, manageable);
