Haji Kalimullah Khan

Haji Kalimullah Khan is an Indian horticulturist associated with mango growing in Malihabad, Uttar Pradesh, and widely recognized for maintaining many mango cultivars through grafting. His work illustrates the difference between placing existing cultivars on one tree and breeding a genetically new cultivar from seed. Different grafted branches retain their own identities rather than blending into a new fruit. When discussing his collection, avoid treating changing publicity counts or unusual fruit descriptions as verified botanical measurements without a documented source.
