As sure as White Walkers mean winter is coming, mangoes are the sure sign the Indian summer is in full throws. But this summer, mango season has an unlikely twist — you can order mango trees over WhatsApp! While some readers might be rolling their eyes so hard they’re permanently stuck behind their sockets, we have to say the Lucknow farmer behind this operation is not only making door-step delivery more interesting, but is genuinely plopping a great product on your door mat.
Mohammed Miyan hails from the Mujasa village, which comes under the Lucknow district, an area famous country-wide for its delicious mangos. For the past two years he has been growing Mango trees for this specific endeavor, certain that out of all the random things people purchase online, why not purchase a tree that bears India’s best mangoes?
This ambitious and literal aam aadmi currently has 100 trees roughly around two years of age that are somewhere between four to five feet tall and on average provide five to seven mangoes every season (until they die and go to mango tree heaven). With the price of these trees in the ₹2,000 to ₹3,000 range, these trees will recup your mango expenses and provide you with the definition of fresh fruit. Even if you aren’t a mango fan this is probably the best drunk buy for online shopping.
By the end of this May Mohammed’s trees will be for sale in the Lucknow and Delhi areas, and if all goes well he plans to expand his delivery scope. If you’re interested in ordering a Mango tree reach out to Mohammed on this WhatsApp number: 09559508020.
