My 1st AZ Home Grown Nam Doc Mai Mango
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- I planted a grafted Nam Doc Mai (polyembyonic type!) mango that I purchased form Green Life nursery (Phoenix, AZ) in September 2019. It has flowered and set fruit but this year coming up on 3 years, it ripened its first fruit. In this video I share a bit about the variety and do a tasting. NDM is fantastic!

Oh man...just to watch you scoop out the flesh and you can see way less fiber than store bought. I'm jealous!
it tastes good when it is green too. It is crunchy and sweet.
Congratulations on your mango harvest. Personally, it's my favorite fruit when it's ripe. The mango ice cream is as delicious as the popsicles.
It’s also my favorite variety! Congratulations!
Congrats! That looks amazing.
Very proud of you! That is def the sweet taste of success! You have motivated me to try plenty one. Thank you again for all of your efforts in your backyard and most importantly sharing with us your viewers!
Can I just say how much I like your videos? Great stuff. I’m about ready to harvest a Valencia Pride and Juicy Peach mango in the next couple weeks. I am in the East Valley on flood irrigation. Keep up the good work!
I’ll second that. Had them in Thailand and wrote down the name. Found your video when i searched for it. Absolutely delicious.
I live in South Australia and our climate is similar to Arizona, I have the nam doc plus 3 other varieties and they are the sweetest things ever.
I also had mine in 2019 and it's now 10 ft tall by 8 ft wide. I am in Central fl zone 9b.
I had several last yr but we had a freeze so no fruit this yr.
I love that variety .
Mangos definitely do not grow in AZ like they do in FL but glad my little tree held onto this one and I got my 1st taste. It's sooo good!
@@EnlightenmentGarden It's a great tasting variety. I have Carrie and East Indian as well. I an gonna get a Mahachanook since I love the taste.
mohachanok is banana mango i think
@valchris11 hello I’m also in central Florida in south Lakeland and recently planted 7 mango trees spring 2023 and am wondering what you do if anything for winter protection? Where in 9b are you? Thanks!!
Congratz! As far as I know are mango seeds not stable, they fall back to seedlings of common variety with very small and fibred fruits.
Maybe you can graft your desired variety on the seedling 🙂
Hope your tree is doing well a year later. Nom doc Mai and Sweet tart are our favorite here in Florida
The NDM did not fruit this year but is pushing lots of growth. That's great to hear it's one of your favorites! I recently acquired a small Sweet Tart mango tree and am excited to see that one grow.
Imagine how much better it would have been if it ripened fully and turned yellow like it should. I have a few of those trees and yes, they are like eating happiness.
you should check out Florida Free Living she is in FL 9b I hope you enjoy it.
.2 second delay "ok I'm sold!" 😊
Looks so good 🤤
My tree has 1 also. It'll be ready soon. Can't wait. Thank you for the video - I identified. xx Would be good to know the varieties you've tried so we can get a sense of how good this one is in comparison.
That's awesome! I've tried Raposa, Mallika, Coconut Cream, Buttercream, Lemon Zest, PPK, Manilla, Tommy Atkins, Kent, Keitt, Ataulfo, Alphonso, Bombay, and Edward from Florida. While taste is personal, my favorite mango variety for flavor is Coconut Cream followed by PPK but IMO nothing beats a home-grown NDM (classic mango taste).
@@EnlightenmentGarden Wonderful - I get a sense on how good Nam Doc Mai must be!! Thank you!! Can't wait to harvest xx
This variety is good, but when you try the (Bahrain One) variety, you will be sure that there is no mango better than it tastes. I wish I could send its tree to you, but it is far The size and smell is very good and the taste is something from heaven
السلام عليكم صار لي زمان ادور علي بحرين ون عندي تقريبا ستين نوع اذا ممكن نشتري منك شجرتين اكون لك شاكر … الموقع دبي
That is amazing! Where did you purchase the tree from back in 2019?
Greenlife nursery in Phoenix!
She mentioned home grown. Presumably from seed.
What kind of protection do you give it in the winter? I’m looking for a mango to plant in Glendale, this is really helpful.
Thanks! I use clumping bamboo as a natural over story to protect them from wind in general, frost in winter, and shade in summer. I also heavily mulch to insulate the roots. I also started planting more polyembryonic seedlings as they have a bit higher cold tolerance than grafted plants. I don't employ frost cloth for the mangos but that is very effective for plants that don't have protection from other plants. If you start watching at 9 minutes in from this video I go into more detail on the microclimate and setup - ua-cam.com/video/vQ8jPnVkT_c/v-deo.html
Natasha, do you know how big your dwarf mango tree will eventually get?
Now I definitely plan on planting a Doc Mai, and the mango Ice Cream variety also sounds delicious.
Sure love gardening. Thanks again.
It's hard to say. In an ideal climate they can range from 10'-15' tall and wide. Here I'm thinking maybe half that size. It's dwarf nature makes for a stronger base which makes it stand up to high winds better than large varieties. NDM has very high disease resistance. Ice Cream does not so you may have issues with anthracnose on that one which will require fungicide treatments more often.
I didn't realize the Honey mango came in a dwarf variety. They are ripe when they're a deep yellow and slightly wrinkled
Honey and Nam Doc Mai are different cultivars. NDM comes from Thailand and Honey/Ataulfo is said to be of Indonesian origin
@@EnlightenmentGarden I have had both and not much difference
Great video, thanks! I am also interested in where you bought it, and
is that self fruiting or do you need two?
Greenlife nursery in Phoenix. I believe all mango varieties are self-fruitful including this one. You only need one.
Hi plz assist. I noticed it’s green on the outside. Shouldn’t you wait until it’s yellow?
I did not pick it; the fruit dropped off the tree on its own so it was well ripened. Nam Doc Mai can range from green to yellow skin when ripe.
