CLIMATE FIT
Why it grows at Gir
Kesar needs a dry, rain-free winter to flower and a hot May to ripen, on well-drained soil below pH 7.8. The Gir foothills, with the Arabian Sea a few kilometres away, are exactly that, and the Gir Kesar GI protects the name.
Kesar mango is a native fit at Gir (100/100). Every factor lines up, which is why we grow it here.
