Assalam O Alaikum

I live near Seaview Karachi. I have planted Chico, coconut, Date palm, Bananas, Jaman, Papaya, Annar & Garma ( Fruited). All these plants are doing fine.

I have tried mango and failed miserably. Please guide, every time I plant one, the plant burns within a couple of months.

Need help. For your information there are numerous mango trees in the area.

Those numerous trees of Mangoes are seed grown desi ones... the grafted good fruiting varieties dont like salty winds.. by the way in which month you planted your mango plant??

I think I planted in March or Feb-15. I live towards do darya near Total Petrol pump. Just a few kilometers away is Quran Academy, they have a Huge mango tree there. Also, few blocks away is Bukhari Commercial Market, every 3rd or 4th house over there has a mango tree.

Timing was correct.. try saving it from salty winds for couple of months before it starts showing growth... try to get Anwar ratol which is the best desi mango available..

OK.... one last thing that ..... which mango varieties can I grow in pots ..... ??

Izhar Bhai,

Where I can find it in karachi ?? Any particular nursery where it is available. I have a huge pot reserved for it and a place where the wind does not bother ...... can't wait to try this variety....

You have to get it from Punjab...

ok
