A name from an old story, a tree for a new orchard
Documented history: consult the claims and qualifications in the cited sources.
Amrapali was developed at IARI from Dashehari × Neelum. Its small tree and regular cropping gave growers a way to fit more trees into an orchard. Here the origin is recorded work by breeders, rather than a chance fruit found beside a road.
Cultural accounts connect its name to Amrapali of ancient Vaishali, remembered in Buddhist tradition. That is the name’s cultural association; it is separate from the cultivar’s modern parentage. The mango called Amrapali is not an ancient tree carried unchanged into the present.
