🥭 Mango Kiew Yai - has many names! It is also known as Khaew Yai, Khao Yai, Kiew Yai, Cat Saigon, or Jin Huang, Golden Queen... It is a semi-dwarf mango originally from Taiwan, prized in Thailand for eating green or pickled. It is a cross between Ivory and Keitt, producing enormous, very ornamental fruit - firm, fiberless, and sweet, with floral and honey notes. It stays mostly green with a pink or yellow blush depending on climate. A late-season variety in Florida, ripening August to September. The tree has a vertical, dense canopy and strong anthracnose resistance, making it a great backyard pick.

Dwarf and Condo mangoes - easy mangoes

Q: We leave in zone 6a, could you tell us what is the list of different types of mango plants that could be planted indoor and that they can bear fruits?

A:There is a large group of mangoes called "Condo Mango" - they literally can be grown in your apartment! Those are dwarf varieties that can remain compact in containers with minimal pruning and successfully bear fruit providing bright light and proper care, including plant food.

The best dwarf and semi-dwarf varieties are: Carrie, Cogshall, Cushman, Fairchild, Graham, Ice Cream, Julie, Mallika, Nam Doc Mai, Pickering, Irwin, Jahangir, Juliette, Lancetilla, Little Gem, Manilita, Sia Tong, Torbert, Pim Seng Mun, Super Julie.

They produce juicy, fiberless sweet fruit. Julie is also a very popular dwarf variety, however, it is very cold sensitive and not the easiest to grow. If you get a 3 gal size mango, step it up to 7 gal when the plant reaches 4 ft; you may use a bigger container as the root system grows, up to 15 gal or even 25 gal, space permitting. Trim the tree under 6-8 ft after production season is over (summer-fall).
