Bombay Green — Northern India, including Uttar Pradesh and Haryana
A name on the map
TNAU records Bombay Green under the name Malda in northern India, while listing Bombai separately. A shared market word is not proof that every fruit sold under it is the same cultivar. The first tree and the reason for the Bombay name remain unverified here.
The names it answers to
- Bombay Green
- The distinct cultivar name in horticultural records.
- Malda
- A northern market synonym recorded by TNAU; also applied to other mangoes, so context matters.
