Mango Fralan - a new exciting discovery

Q: I am looking for a special mango called Fralan. It is the most popular mango in Vietnam where I am from. Do you have this variety?

A: Fralan is a relatively new variety of Mango, originated from Thailand, with green skin. In Thai, "Fralan" means "Thunder" - as the fruit cracks when peeled. It also has another meaning "Foreigner" as people from the West seem to speak too loud for Thai ears. This mango has no turpentine aftertaste unlike some other varieties. Its flavor is superior. The flat seed is similar to Nam Doc Mai, it has no seed coat which is a good advantage, leaves more room for flesh and makes it easier to eat.
Fralan can be eaten:
a) when green - it is crunchy, sweet, producing cracking sounds (=Thunder)
b) when yellow (fully ready) - very soft, no fiber whatsoever
The tree is early-middle harvesting season depending on climate and has a DWARF habit! Which make is excellent choice for potting culture. See full list of Mango varieties

Golden Sugar Apple - Pineapple Annona

In this video we talk about a rare hybrid of Annona - Golden Sugar Apple. This rare Annona is a species originally brought to us from Costa Rica. We believe it to be a natural hybrid between A. muricata and A. glabra...
Fast growing, it forms a nice bushy specimen. It has a large, up to 1 lb fruit, green when unripe, turning dark yellow to orange on ripening. The pulp is golden to orange when ripe, with a strong Pineapple scent, and resembling Jackfruit in texture. Flavor is like the custard apple but with pineapple, papaya, apricot and melon overtones. Note that some people dislike the taste, others find it good... The tree tolerates flooding. It is also cold hardy! The plant would be very interesting for rare fruit collectors as it offers a large, exotic fruit of unusual color and taste, and appears to be much more hardy and water tolerant than similar looking but sensitive A. muricata, A. montana and Rollinia.

Pram Kai Mai: a sweeter twist on Nam Doc Mai with a story - Mango Rainbow

🥭 Pram Kai Mai: a sweeter twist on Nam Doc Mai with a story - Mango Rainbow🌈
  • 🟡Why mango collectors chase after Pram Kai Mai?
  • Pram Kai Mai is like Nam Doc Mai’s cooler cousin - with even better flavor. This Thai mango can be eaten green when it’s sweet and crispy, or fully ripe when it turns golden and silky. No fiber, just smooth, juicy flesh and a tropical aroma that hits you as soon as you slice it. It’s semi-dwarf, great for pots, and some trees even fruit more than once a year. Rare, compact, and loaded with flavor - this one’s a collector’s dream.
  • 🟡Pram Kai Mai is a Thai dessert mango known for its gentle sweetness and smooth, almost fiberless flesh. The name appears in several spellings - Pram Kai Mai, Pram Kai Mea, Pram Kai Mia, Prom Ki Mia, and even Brahm Kai Meu - all referring to the same variety.
  • 🟡If we break down the original Thai name พร้ามกายเมีย (Brahm/Pram/Prom Kai Mea/Mai/Mia) literally: Brahm / Pram / Prom relates to "noble, elevated, precious".

กาย - Kai means body
เมีย - Mia means wife
But no one in Thailand interprets this name word-for-word.
In mango names, this construction works as a cultural compliment, a gentle metaphor. The meaning is closer to:
"A mango so good you would save it for the one you love most."
or "A fruit worthy of a beloved wife".
Similar to how in other languages we may call something "royal", "special", or "meant for someone dear", this name is simply expressing admiration.

And the fruit truly matches that feeling. It is fragrant and sweet, with soft tender flesh. It can be enjoyed while still crisp and green, when its flavor is clean and refreshing, or fully ripe, when it becomes rich and smooth, almost melting on the tongue.
