  • It's been 120 days since I first sprayed potassium nitrate on my Nam Doc Mai mango tree. Just harvested 6 mangoes.

    Interesting how do you apply it?

      After you dissolve it in hot water and mix it up with the rest of the cold water, you put it in to a sprayer. I use a one gallon garden sprayer. Shake it often. Spray a light mist on the top and bottom of the leaves and branches and trunk. Try not to have it dripping onto the ground. Do it early morning or late afternoon on a dry day with no rain the forecast. Avoid spraying in direct sun. Apply once a week. I usually apply 2-3 times before I see results. Good luck.

      @@geriannroth449 Great. Please let me know how it goes. Check out my video "Nam Doc Mai mango forced to bloom year two. It's working again!" It gives the correct mix and shows the start of the results. Make sure you don't use any fertilizer that contains nitrogen. Something like a 0-10-10.

      I buy it at our local garden store. Just checked Amazon, 1 pound for $14.75. That will go a long ways. Check around, may be cheaper locally.

      There are several different varieties of Nam Doc Mai. Can I assume that you think they should be yellow or orange color on the outside? This type for the most part stays green with sometimes some slight yellowing on the outside. These for sure have a unique taste to them. Super delicious, thin seed, no fiber. I am uploading a short video right now showing how all the seeds are polyembryonic. A common characteristic of Nam Doc Mai.

      I have seen different shapes and colors. I've never tasted any other Nam Doc Mai mangoes before, but these definitely have a unique flavor to them compared to other types of mangoes.

      @@punasurf4697 how often does it produce in the puna area. On the hamakua side it’s a decent producer considering the frequency of rain we receive. I have a good collection of mango varieties including other species like odorata, lalijiwae, foetida, all must have some tolerance to rain during flowering to produce fruits on a regular basis. I have several clones I’ve propagated from mature bearing seedling grown specimens of mangifera indica trees on the windward side that have amazing fruit and show some great tolerance to the rain during their flowering cycles.
