For local plant professionals, we’re always glad to connect and explore ways to support your customers.

The Nam Doc Mai Mango is a sublime Thai variety, celebrated for its exquisite sweetness, floral aroma, and versatile eating stages. Its fruit is distinctive: long, slender, and often curved with a prominent beak. The skin ripens to a bright, sunny yellow, covering fiberless, succulent flesh that is intensely sweet with a unique perfumed, almost floral fragrance. Incredibly versatile, it can be enjoyed crisp and sweet when young, or soft and creamy when fully ripe. A compact, manageable tree makes it an ideal choice for container growing or small tropical gardens.

Famous for its exceptional, candy-like sweetness and unique floral, fragrant aroma.
Fruit can be eaten at multiple stages: crisp and sweet when green (for salads), or soft and creamy when fully ripe.
Flesh is completely fiberless, smooth, and has a rich, deep yellow color.
A tree with a naturally compact, upright growth habit, easier to maintain at 10-15 feet than many varieties.
The fruit has a distinctive long, slender, and curved shape with a pointed beak.
A mid-season variety, typically ripening in June-July.

Flavor Profile:

Flavor: Intensely, purely sweet with very low acidity and a pronounced floral, honey-like fragrance.
Texture: Crisp when eaten green; meltingly creamy and smooth when ripe.
Best Uses: The ultimate dessert mango. Perfect for sticky rice, eaten fresh, in smoothies, or making sweet mango preserves. Also eaten green in Thai salads.

Knowing how we measure the size?

When browsing our plants, you may notice size terms such as Gallon, Multi, or Stand. These describe how a plant is grown, containerized, or structured at the time of sale — not just its height. Understanding these terms will help you choose the right plant for your space and expectations.

🌱 Gallon Size (Container Size)

Gallon refers to the size of the nursery container the plant is currently growing in (e.g. 1 Gallon, 5 Gallon, 15 Gallon).

A larger gallon size generally means:
- A more established root system
- A sturdier plant
- Faster visual impact after planting
Example:
- 5 Gallon: Ideal for residential gardens, easy to handle, good balance of value and maturity
- 15 Gallon: More mature, provides quicker results in the landscape

Note: Gallon size does not guarantee a specific height, as growth varies by species.

🌳 Multi (Multi-Trunk / Multi-Branch Form)

Multi indicates the plant has multiple trunks or main stems growing from the base.

Commonly used for:
- Ornamental trees
- Feature plants
- Japanese maples, olives, crepe myrtles, etc.
Why choose Multi:
- Fuller, more sculptural appearance
- Strong visual presence even at younger ages
- Popular for design-focused landscapes

🌲 Stand (Single-Trunk / Standard Form)

Stand (short for Standard) refers to a single, dominant trunk with a raised or naturally formed canopy.

Commonly used for:
- Shade trees
- Street trees
- Orchard and structural plantings
Why choose Stand:
- Clean, classic tree form
- Easier clearance for walkways and lawns
- Preferred for long-term structure and uniformity

🌿 Choosing the Right Size

If you want instant impact → larger Gallon, Multi form
If you want long-term structure → Stand form
If you want flexibility and value → mid-size Gallon containers

If you’re unsure which size or form fits your project, our team is happy to help you select the best option based on your space, timeline, and design goals.
