Sweet and a lot of meat, the pit is smaller. There is a video on Reddit but I'm not sure if we're allowed to post it here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PBob Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 My resident expert says they are in season in May and you should be able to find them in Talad Thai (Pathumthani). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAFETY FIRST Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 (edited) Who knows the name of these mangoes? They are cheap and tasty. I'm going to the market twice a week to buy. They were selling for 5 baht per kilogram (usually 10, 15 baht) at the market here in Pattaya. A few marks on the outside but inside soft and sweet.

brianthainess Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 I have no idea what type of Mangoes these are on my tree but they do not turn yellow on the tree they will rot first, they will ripen off the tree however, and of course are eaten when still slightly crunchy with sugar and chilly powder. They are delicious when slightly yellow. I personally think they are the 'blue mango'. On a side note the new fresh leaves can be cooked in hot water, they are quite nice with a tang of mango.

Tropposurfer Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 There are 200 species of mango (Mangifera indica) in Thailand. Native to India (hence the Latin 'indica'), Burma, and the Andaman Islands. Can be grown and trained to shape so the tree is low enough to walk beneath and pick the fruit by hand. Benefits form selective pruning and thinning of inward crossing branches. I'ver seen them espalier on a long stone wall too. The photo you post looks like maybe the very common 'nam dok mai' but it's easy to mistake one species closely related to another, as many have both similar shapes and seed carapace sizes. They're dead easy to grow but take a few years to mature sufficiently to produce fruit (about 5 to eight years if grown from seed). I'm an Aussie and know Australian cultivars are very good but Thai mangoes have their deliciousness too. I find the cultivars of nam dok mai that are more orange fleshed to be better tasting (don't know their exact species or cultivar name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing better from WIKI: It is also grown in Australia, where it has been grafted onto existing Kensington Pride trees. Cool Love Bowen mangoes too.

This is the famous sweet green mango, used raw unripe in salads and never eaten ripe. The Thai word is mamuang keow wan "sweet green mango". มะม่วงเขียวหวาน Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Originally I bought my first one a good few years back. My wife liked the fruit and bought another 6-7 about 4 years ago. We just bought them locally from folk that drive around selling plants/trees etc. I bought based on the picture that showed the fruit. At first I was led to believe it was called an 'Apple mango'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
