• Highly Prolific Producer: This variety is known for its abundant yields, ensuring a generous supply of delicious fruit once established. You can look forward to a rewarding harvest season after season.

• Moderate Vigor: The tree exhibits moderate growth, making it an ideal candidate for home gardens where space might be a consideration. It’s easier to manage and prune compared to excessively vigorous varieties.

• Unique Culinary Experience: The specific recommendation to eat the fruit green and unripe before any color change occurs highlights its special culinary appeal, perfect for salads, salsas, or simply as a refreshing snack.

• Attractive Foliage: Beyond its fruit, the green mango plant provides lush, tropical foliage, adding an ornamental touch to your landscape or patio.

• Cultivate a Rare Variety: By growing this Thai mango variety, you’re cultivating a less common but highly regarded fruit, bringing a touch of exotic flavor to your home.

Plant Care & Growing Tips

To ensure your brahm kai meu mango tree thrives and produces abundant fruit, proper care is essential. Mango trees generally prefer warm, humid climates and plenty of sunshine. Plant your tree in a location that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. In cooler climates, consider growing in a large container that can be moved indoors during colder months.

Well-draining soil is crucial for mango trees. A sandy loam soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0 is ideal. Ensure the planting site or pot has excellent drainage to prevent root rot. Water regularly, especially during dry periods and when the tree is young, but allow the top few inches of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering frequency in winter or during dormant periods. Fertilize your prolific mango tree with a balanced fertilizer formulated for fruit trees, following package instructions. Young trees benefit from more frequent, lighter applications, while mature trees may need feeding a few times a year.

Protect young trees from strong winds and frost. Pruning should be done to maintain a manageable size, encourage air circulation, and remove any dead or diseased branches. This also helps in shaping the tree for better fruit production. Monitor for common pests and diseases like anthracnose or powdery mildew and treat promptly if necessary. With proper care, your grafted mango plant will reward you with years of delicious harvests.
