For the most part I just have one harvest per year. This tree started to bloom on it's own but then stopped, so I treated with potassium nitrate. So it kind of had 2 blooms but my goal is one good crop per year. If I have to force both trees to bloom I try to time it about one month apart to stretch the harvest. As far as yield, I fed this tree w K-mag too late in the season last year and it immediately split hundreds of mangoes. This season I already fed the K-mag before blooming started. I expect to get several hundred per tree if all goes right. I'm still learning. I do expect a great year this year. Weather predicted to be dry which is good. My trees should start blooming any day now. I'll do a video later this year to show progress.
Really no different than any other mango. Good soil, drainage, food, water, lots of sun. I just ate my first Nam Doc Mai from my tree and it is not as sweet as my Brooks Late. I think my soil is not in the best condition. In an effort to make my second batch of fruit this season sweeter, I have started adding microbes by mixing rain water, leaf mold, and unsulfered molasses and letting it brew a few days. Then I sprinkle this mix over the ground around my trees. Also add dolomite lime, Azomite, gypsum, compost, and a kelp based organic fertilizer. I'll know in 4-5 months if it makes a difference in sweetness.
@@shit2fly I used various chemical and organic fertilizers in the past, but have come to the conclusion that I need to focus on going organic. I do like neptunes fish and seaweed 2-3-1 and Alaska morebloom 0-10-10. I've used Gaviota 10-20-20 for tropical fruit and Miracle grow tropical fruit in the past but I felt like my soil was dead. Now I brew microbes using leaf mold and molasses and use organic liquid fertilizers. I've also started mulching to encourage the worms to move in. I'm also letting the grass grow tall under the trees.
@@shit2fly Damn, typed a big reply and it disappeared. For a few years now I've used Miracle grow tropical fruit and gaviota 10-20-20. When I first planted my trees I used Neptunes fish and seaweed organic fertilizer but quit due to cost. But now I've to the conclusion that my soil was dead so I went back to using Neptunes 2-3-1 fish and seaweed and Alaska morbloom 0-10-10. I also brew microbes using leaf mold and molasses. I've started mulching and letting the grass grow under the trees to encourage the worms to move in. Now my soil is much more "alive" and the mangoes are loving it.
Loooks amazing it’s one of my dream to grow a mango tree like that
I too had that dream most of my life. This really is a dream come true. Mahalo!
How many harvests per year?,yield per tree?
For the most part I just have one harvest per year. This tree started to bloom on it's own but then stopped, so I treated with potassium nitrate.

How old tree?
In this video, which was last year, I believe that the grafted tree was either 5 or 6 years old.
Hi thanks .please do a video on planting and raising a namdocmai plant

@@punasurf4697 What's your fertilizer regiment initially? Thanks.
