Ethnic/Cultural Info
Malihabad, India’s mango capital, is home to some the oldest mango trees. The government of India gave Malihabad a Geographical Indications (or GI) status, declaring it the home of the Dasheri mango. The Dasheri Village is home to the mother Dasheri tree, which is between 200 and 300 years old. Legend has it that the abandoned mangoes were left in the village because of a tax dispute among mango growers. The fruits were left to rot and eventually decomposed, resulting in the birth of the mother Dasheri man tree. The Nawab of Lucknow eventually purchased the mother tree for his personal consumption. He was awed by its delicious flavor and texture. The Nawab loved mangoes so much, he hired guards to keep the tree safe every day. To prevent birds from eating the mangoes, he also had holes dug into the seeds. Although it is not known how the variety got away from this protection, there are plenty of stories and theories that Malihabad residents enjoy sharing. Modern-day, the mother Dasheri mango tree is closely guarded. Each season, the fruits are sent to the Nawab’s descendants.
