Kasturi Mango is a rare, exotic fruit tree native to Kalimantan, Indonesia, that does exceptionally well in Perth’s warm climate. Famous for its intense, sweet aroma and rich tropical flavor, the small purple-to-black fruits taste like a delicious mix of mango, passionfruit, and lychee. It’s a standout choice for fruit collectors looking for something completely unique and highly productive.

Kasturi trees are hardier and more disease-resistant than standard commercial mango varieties. They feature attractive dark green foliage with young leaves that emerge in striking reddish-purple tones. Highly adaptable to sandy soils, they handle heat well and require simple, regular summer watering once established.

Interesting Notes:
Sadly listed as extinct in the wild, the Kasturi mango survives today thanks to rare fruit enthusiasts and home growers around the world. The small fruits grow in abundant clusters, and their skin turns a deep dark purple when fully ripe.
