What if mangoes don’t grow on mango trees but on Neem trees instead? Now isn’t that a mind-boggling situation? Well, perhaps, that’s what Union Minister Prahlad Singh Patel might have felt when he came across juicy mangoes growing on a neem tree at his bungalow in Bhopal. Read on to know the mystery behind this.
Union Minister Shares Fascinating Video Of Mangoes Growing On Neem Tree
Union Minister Prahlad Singh Patel shared a video of a Neem tree in Bhopal Niwas, his bungalow in Madhya Pradesh where mangoes are seen growing on it on X (Twitter). Luscious mangoes were seen growing from the neem tree. As he went closer to see the neem trees, he saw mangoes growing on them. And he was left pleasantly surprised. In his caption, he mentioned that his heart was filled with joy. Moreover, he states that a skilled gardener might have experimented with this many years ago. And it’s no less than a wonder.

Netizens were equally in awe on noticing this unique tree. @ManojRamSharma1 called it “adbhut” (incredible) and called it “naturally medicated mangoes”. This is because neem trees are known to have medical properties. Moreover, he replied that perhaps diabetic patients may be able to consume it. Many described it using words like “God’s Creation”, “adhbut”, “wonder”, “ajooba” and more.
Growing Need For Innovations In Mango Farming Amid Climate Change Issues
Another X user was curious to know if the mangoes tasted sweet or if they tasted bitter as they grew on neem trees. As India is known for its mangoes, there is a growing need for innovations in mango farming. A recent report by TOI mentioned a decline in mango crops due to delays in flowering and fruiting processes. So, the top priority for the agriculture industry is mitigating climate change effects. Goa had a mango show where over 1000 farmers participated in it showcasing 75 varieties and 350 mango byproducts.
Sir Pranam,
Adbhut , Naturally medicated mango.
Diabetic patient cal also consume .
