Nam Doc Mai Mango Tree in 7-Gallon Pot Available in Jupiter, FL
The Nam Doc Mai Mango (Mangifera indica ‘Nam Doc Mai’) is one of Thailand’s most celebrated mango varieties, prized for its incredibly fragrant, floral sweetness and silky, fiberless texture. With its elongated golden fruit and melt-in-your-mouth flesh, Nam Doc Mai is considered one of the finest dessert mangos in the world.
This semi-dwarf, grafted tree performs beautifully in South Florida’s warm, humid climate. In a 7-gallon pot, it is well-established and nearing fruiting maturity—perfect for in-ground planting or large container growing.
Care & Growing Info (Optimized for South Florida):
Sunlight: Full sun—minimum 6 to 8 hours daily for strong flowering and optimal fruit sweetness.
Watering: Moderate. Water deeply when the top 2–3 inches of soil dry out. Maintain steady moisture during bloom and fruit development, but avoid waterlogged soil.
Soil: Well-draining sandy or loamy soil enriched with compost or aged organic matter. Excellent drainage is essential to prevent root rot.
Fertilizer: Apply a mango-specific fertilizer 3–4 times per year. Supplement with potassium and micronutrients such as zinc and boron during flowering and fruit set.
Growth Habit: Semi-dwarf with graceful, slightly drooping branches. Typically reaches 10–15 feet in-ground and responds well to pruning. In a 7-gallon pot, trees are approximately 3–5 feet tall.
Temperature: USDA Zones 10–11. Thrives in South Florida’s tropical and subtropical conditions. Protect young trees from temperatures below 35°F.
Maintenance: Low to moderate. Prune lightly after harvest to maintain shape and airflow. Preventative copper fungicide during prolonged rainy periods may help reduce fungal pressure.
Harvest & Seasonality:
Planting Time: Best planted spring through early fall for strong root establishment.
Harvest Time: Mid to late season—typically July through August in South Florida.
How to Harvest: Pick when fruit turns golden-yellow and develops a rich, floral aroma at the stem. Allow to ripen at room temperature for peak sweetness.
Fruit Characteristics: Long, slender fruit with smooth golden skin and deep orange, fiberless flesh. Flavor is intensely sweet, floral, and aromatic with a buttery texture.
