What is the biggest mango fruit?
🔍 We discovered one of the biggest Mango fruit after we planted this new variety - Kiew Yai.
Right now the fruit is almost a foot long!
⏳ The tree was planted in April - only 3 months ago.
😋 Looking forward to tasting it soon and sharing our taste impressions with you. Stay with us!
⬆️ Reminder:In order to have good quality fruit, your Mango tree must be grafted. Grafted varieties start fruiting right away, while seedlings may take from 7 to 10 years to fruit and the taste of the seedling's fruit will always be a surprise, they may be small in size and very fibrous.
