{"product_id":"fruit-punch","title":"Fruit Punch","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe variety comes from the celebrated breeding programme of Gary Zill in Boynton Beach, Florida, USA, where the original tree carried the grid designation M-23. It arose as a seedling of Zill-80 — itself a direct descendant of the classic Kent — with Jakarta believed to be the pollinating parent. This pedigree places Fruit Punch within a distinguished modern lineage, making it a sibling of Super Alphonso, Carla and Edgar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe Fruit Punch mangoes are oval and medium-sized, weighing roughly 450 to 650 grams, and rank among the most beautiful of the Zill selections. Growers often liken a perfectly finished fruit to a \"dragon egg,\" with a fiery red blush crowning the shoulders above a base of golden-yellow and green. Fruit Punch is very aromatic - cut into one and it releases a sweet, syrupy aroma carrying a gentle resinous edge, frequently compared to Hawaiian Punch or the famous mocktail 'Fruit Punch'. The pulp is a vibrant yellowish-orange, firm and almost pear-like in texture yet entirely fibreless, buttery - melting in the mouth, and juicy. On the palate, it delivers a classic mango sweetness lifted by a well-judged acidity, with layered notes suggesting lemon, pineapple, papaya, watermelon, peach and green grapes. This \"fruit cup\" quality gives the variety its name. Principally a superb table mango, it is equally at home in smoothies, juices, and blended drinks. Like many specialty cultivars, it offers only a brief window of peak flavour — but caught at the right moment, Fruit Punch can taste quite exceptional!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eFruit Punch is a consistent, regular bearer, with production ranging from good to heavy. It is an early-to-mid-season mango that ripens progressively rather than all at once — an extended window running, depending on location, from as early as late May through to June, allowing the crop to be enjoyed over a longer stretch (in West Bengal, India, it starts ripening in the last week of May).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe stone is small in size, and it is monoembryonic, so the variety can only be reproduced true-to-type through grafting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe tree is medium to large in size with a moderately vigorous, upright habit and an open canopy, giving an attractive, full shape. It responds well to annual pruning and can be comfortably held at a desired height in a home landscape - it can be planted for a rooftop garden, kitchen garden, small orchard, and farms. It could also be explored for commercial farming, as its enchanting complex flavour can fetch a good price for the farmers in India's domestic market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: inline-flex; align-items: baseline; gap: 5px; background: #f5ede0; border: 1px solid #e0d0b8; padding: 4px 12px; margin: 4px 4px 0 0; font-family: sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 9px; font-weight: 600; letter-spacing: 0.12em; text-transform: uppercase; color: #8a7a60;\"\u003eColour\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px; color: #1a3a28;\"\u003eFiery red blush crowning the shoulders above a base of golden-yellow and green\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: inline-flex; align-items: baseline; gap: 5px; background: #f5ede0; border: 1px solid #e0d0b8; padding: 4px 12px; margin: 4px 4px 0 0; font-family: sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 9px; font-weight: 600; letter-spacing: 0.12em; text-transform: uppercase; color: #8a7a60;\"\u003eAverage Weight\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px; color: #1a3a28;\"\u003e450 grams\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: inline-flex; align-items: baseline; gap: 5px; background: #f5ede0; border: 1px solid #e0d0b8; padding: 4px 12px; margin: 4px 4px 0 0; font-family: sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 9px; font-weight: 600; letter-spacing: 0.12em; text-transform: uppercase; color: #8a7a60;\"\u003eSweetness\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px; color: #1a3a28;\"\u003eUpto TSS 24 Brix\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: inline-flex; align-items: baseline; gap: 5px; background: #f5ede0; border: 1px solid #e0d0b8; padding: 4px 12px; margin: 4px 4px 0 0; font-family: sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 9px; font-weight: 600; letter-spacing: 0.12em; text-transform: uppercase; color: #8a7a60;\"\u003eShelf Life\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px; color: #1a3a28;\"\u003eModerate — approximately 1 week\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: inline-flex; align-items: baseline; gap: 5px; background: #f5ede0; border: 1px solid #e0d0b8; padding: 4px 12px; margin: 4px 4px 0 0; font-family: sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 9px; font-weight: 600; letter-spacing: 0.12em; text-transform: uppercase; color: #8a7a60;\"\u003eSeed Type\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px; color: #1a3a28;\"\u003eMonoembryonic\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: inline-flex; align-items: baseline; gap: 5px; background: #f5ede0; border: 1px solid #e0d0b8; padding: 4px 12px; margin: 4px 4px 0 0; font-family: sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 9px; font-weight: 600; letter-spacing: 0.12em; text-transform: uppercase; color: #8a7a60;\"\u003eBearing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px; color: #1a3a28;\"\u003eRegular and very heavy bearer in India \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MangoPlant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52261347918126,"sku":"SKU-FruitPunch","price":1275.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0903\/7630\/6990\/files\/Yourparagraphtext_10.png?v=1782917245","url":"https:\/\/www.mangoplant.com\/products\/fruit-punch","provider":"Mango Plant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
