The Black Stone Mango (Mangifera indica 'Black Stone') is a unique and exotic mango variety known for its strikingly dark-skinned fruit and sweet, rich flavor. This tropical fruit tree is a favorite among mango enthusiasts and gardeners looking to add a touch of the extraordinary to their garden. The tree boasts glossy, dark green leaves and produces large, delicious mangoes with a deep, almost black skin when ripe, making it a stunning and delicious addition to any landscape.

Plant and Care
Planting: The Black Stone Mango plant thrives in warm, tropical, and subtropical climates. Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Plant the mango sapling in a hole twice the width and depth of its root ball. Ensure the graft union is above the soil line.

Watering: Water the plant deeply and regularly, especially during the first few years to establish a strong root system. Once established, mango trees are somewhat drought-tolerant but will produce better fruit with consistent watering.

Feeding: Fertilize the tree with a balanced fertilizer during the growing season. Young trees should be fed every 4-6 weeks, while mature trees benefit from biannual feeding. Adding organic compost or well-rotted manure around the base can also enhance growth.

Pruning: Prune the tree to maintain its shape and remove any dead or diseased branches. Regular pruning helps improve air circulation and sunlight penetration, promoting healthier growth and better fruit production.

Pest and Disease Control: Monitor the tree for common pests such as aphids, mealybugs, and scale. Use organic insecticides or neem oil as needed. Ensure proper spacing and avoid waterlogging to prevent fungal diseases.

Harvesting: Mangoes are ready to harvest when they reach full size and the skin color changes to its mature hue. Gently twist or cut the fruit from the tree and allow it to ripen at room temperature if not fully ripe when picked.
