A Chili Mango plant is a unique, grafted mango tree that produces small, elongated fruits with a distinct flavor profile: a blend of sweet, tangy mango and a spicy chili-like heat. Also known as Lajiao mangoes, these plants are popular in home gardens for their exotic appeal and versatile culinary uses, such as in sauces, salsas, and chutneys. They are grafted for faster growth, consistent fruit quality, and require full sun and well-draining soil to thrive.
