Want to see 200 varieties of mangoes in a single tree? Wait until the next mango season and plan a visit to this mango hub.
Saplings of 200 varieties of mangoes have been grafted in an aging mango tree on the Circuit House premises of Chapainawabganj thanks to an initiative by the immediate past district commissioner Manjurul Hafeez.
Old branches of the tree have been pruned before the grafting, officials involved in the experiment said recently.
The grafted new branches have already grown leaves, the officials said hoping that the new varieties will be available for plucking in the next season of the juicy fruit.
