Indian man grows 300 varieties of mangoes on one tree
LUCKNOW (Dunya News) – 80-year-old Indian farmer Kalimullah Khan has grown 300 varieties of mangoes on one tree.
Kalimullah said that his obsession with mango grafting intensified at the age of 15, when he saw crossbred roses in a friend’s garden.
“Naturally I wanted to replicate what I saw on [that] rose bush on a mango tree. This miracle tree is not just a tree, it’s an orchard by itself, a universe,” he said.
The ‘Mango Man’ further said, “Just like two children of the same parents are different in their traits and qualities, mangoes that germinate from the same seed can be totally different.”
India’s ‘Mango Man’ Creates Mango Tree That Produces 300 Different Varieties
Haji Kalimullah Khan, aka Mango Man, is a world renowned horticulturist and fruit breeder known for his accomplishments in breeding mangoes, and especially for his crowning achievement, a mango tree that produces 300 different varieties.
When Haji Kalimullah Khan dropped out of school at the age of 15 to make growing and breeding mangoes his life’s work, his family, like most farmers in Malihabad, Northern India, was growing only two varieties of the delicious tropical fruit. But one day, after seeing a rose plant that produced flowers of different colors in a friend’s flower garden, Khan learned about plant crossbreeding, and started wondering if the same principles didn’t apply to fruit trees. This was the beginning of a career that would eventually see him crowned as one of the world’s leading horticulturists and fruit breeders, and earn him the affectionate nickname “Mango Man”.
