Dashehari

Incredibly, 80 percent of the mangos cultivated in the North of India can be traced back to the 200-year-old Dashehari trees located in the village bearing its namesake. In this regard, Dashehari mangoes are one of the mother mango varieties in the country. Apparently the first tree was planted when a wandering mango tradesman threw a variety onto the ground in a fit of rage after getting into a fight with the monk who housed him. The community in Malihabad takes every efforts to preserve the heritage of these fantastic trees. And rightfully so, as its pulp is sweet and succulent.
