The Alphonso tree is a type of mango tree known for producing the premium Alphonso mango, often regarded as the "King of Mangoes." Native to India, particularly in regions like Maharashtra, the tree grows to a medium to large size with a broad, dense canopy of dark green leaves. It thrives in tropical and subtropical climates, requiring well-drained soil and ample sunlight. The Alphonso mangoes it bears are prized for their rich, sweet flavor, smooth texture, and vibrant golden-yellow color with a reddish tint. The tree blooms in late winter, and the fruit is typically harvested in spring.
