Mango tree Kiew Yai (Cat Saigon), Grafted (Mangifera indica)
6566 Mango tree Kiew Yai (Cat Saigon), Grafted (Mangifera indica)
This is a semi-dwarf Thai mango used for eating green. It is also great for pickling. Fruit is medium-sized, sweet mangoes with minimal fiber. It is late season in Florida maturing from August to September.
This mango is originally known as Jin Huang, and is from Taiwan. It is a cross between Ivory and Keitt, producing enormous, very ornamental fruit. It has gone by multiple other names since being marketed commercially and introduced to other east Asian countries, including Golden Queen and Kiew Yai (in Thailand). Trees labelled Cat Saigon have also turned out to be Golden Queen.
They are oblong-sigmoid in shape, staying relatively green at maturity with some minimal pinkish blush at the top of sun exposed fruit in interior areas, while turning a more brilliant yellow/orange color towards the coast, weighing up to several pounds.
The flesh is firm, fiberless, and yellow. The flavor is good, of the Thai-class with typical sweetness and floral and honey notes, but with perhaps a little more depth to it than something like Nam Doc Mai or Keow Savoy.
The trees are moderately vigorous growers with vertical dense canopy. The foliage resembles that of Keitt but the flowers have superior anthracnose resistance.

Plant Overview
Growth habit: This plant grows into a tall tree, reaching over 20 feet when planted in the ground, making it a great choice for large gardens or open areas where shade is welcome. However, it can be trimmed to maintain a more compact shape and may also be grown in a large container with proper care.
Growing conditions: This plant can be grown outdoors in the suitable USDA zone. It is ideal for planting in large backyard spaces where it has room to spread, but it can also be trimmed and maintained in a large container with proper care.
Watering: This plant needs moderate watering. Allow the top of the soil to dry slightly before watering again.
Sun exposure: This plant grows best in full sun or very bright light. If grown indoors, it should be placed in the brightest spot possible, such as near a south-facing window or under strong grow lights.
USDA Zone: Zone 9-11. The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map categorizes North America into zones based on average annual minimum winter temperatures, each differing by 10 °F. This map serves as a basic guide for selecting appropriate plants for a region. However, it's not definitive; plant varieties vary in cold tolerance, and young plants typically need more protection. Additionally, local microclimates, like sheltered areas or sunny spots, can influence plant health and survivability beyond the general zone recommendation.
Hardiness: Light freezing, 30°F for short period of time, mature plants. Young plants must be protected. Plant hardiness indicates the coldest temperature a mature plant can endure briefly while staying healthy. This rating is a guideline and can vary among varieties of the same species. Young plants often need more cold protection. Additionally, a plant's survival can be enhanced by the microclimate of its location, which may provide shelter from wind or extra warmth, allowing it to thrive beyond its typical hardiness range.
Plant type: This is a fruit (Mango Kiew Yai (Cat Saigon)) tree. With proper care, it will grow tasty delicious delicious fruits.
Flower color: This plant produces pink, and yellow or orange flowers during its blooming season.
Outdoor planting
Plant in well-draining soil and choose a location that matches the plant light and space needs. Improve poor soils by mixing in compost or organic matter. Dig a hole twice as wide and no deeper than the root ball - planting too deep can harm the plant. For better drainage, position the plant so the top of the root ball is slightly above ground level. Water thoroughly after planting. Outdoor plants may need temporary shade during the first weeks to protect them from strong sun or heat. Watch the soil moisture closely and water regularly until the plant is well established. Apply mulch around the base to help retain moisture and reduce weeds, forming a shallow basin to hold water. Keep mulch a few inches away from the trunk or stem to prevent rot.
Indoor planting
Use a container with drainage holes and a well-draining potting mix. Position the plant so that the top of the root ball is level with the surface of the soil - avoid planting too deep. A slow-release fertilizer can be mixed into the soil at planting time to support healthy growth. Place the plant in a location that matches its light needs, and water according to its care requirements. Be careful not to overwater, and ensure good airflow around the plant to reduce the risk of pests and disease.
Protecting Plants in Winter
When it gets cold, some plants need extra help. You can move potted plants indoors or under a covered patio. Young plants need extra protection because they are more sensitive to cold and less established. For plants in the ground, use frost cloth to keep them warm. Stop using fertilizer in late fall so plants can rest. Try to place plants in areas protected from cold wind, rain, and frost.
Cold Hardiness and Microclimates
USDA zone and hardiness are only general guidelines. Actual cold tolerance can vary based on plant variety and local conditions. Even small differences between varieties can matter. Also, warmer spots in your yard—like near a wall or fence—can help plants survive cold nights. These little warm areas are called microclimates, and they make a big difference.
