Saigon mango trees grow vigorously and naturally form a nice, rounded canopy. They love a warm, sunny spot with free-draining soil and need regular deep watering while the fruit is developing through summer. While they can grow into large trees, they respond really well to pruning so you can easily keep them at a manageable height.
Interesting Notes:
The fruit is absolutely top-tier with a green to bright yellow skin and a pale yellow flesh that is completely fiberless. It has a mild, succulently sweet flavor and a lovely aroma, making it perfect for eating fresh or serving with sticky rice.
Because this is a highly productive and popular variety, it is always a hit with rare fruit lovers.
