DASHERI MANGO

Dasheri mango was first grafted in the 18th century by Abdul Hameed Khan Kandhari^[2] in his "Hamidiya" plant nursery. He used a seedling from a mango tree that resembled the Dasheri variety in appearance but differed in taste. This original tree was located in the gardens of the Nawab of Dasheri village. When Abdul Hameed Khan Kandhari, the zamindar of Malihabad, learned about the tree, he requested permission from the owner to take its saplings. He conducted extensive research and, using his deep knowledge, grafted it with another plant to create a new variety of mango, which he named after the village—Dasheri.
