The most popular variety of mango in India, which is also big on export, it is popularly known as Chaunsa, Chausa. The best variation of Alphonso mangoes is those from Ratnagiri, Maharashtra. Mangoes are usually grown from a healthy 2 to 4 foot tall (.6 to 1.2 m) nursery tree. Buy a tree that has no sign of wounds or other damage to the trunk, particularly where the trunk meets the soil. Choose an area of land that doesn’t bake in full sun. The tree will become very large if not pruned, so make sure it will have enough room if you plan to allow it to grow to its natural size. You’ll need to dig a large hole that is 4 times the width and 3 times the depth of the mango tree’s container. Place the tree in the ground and use the original soil to fill the space around the roots and base of the tree. Firm the tree in with your foot to remove any air pockets and then water it well. Unless your tree will be exposed to strong winds, there shouldn’t be a need to stake it. You’ll need to water two times a week for the first few months of growth.
