Michael starts with ... I am trying get my hands on a good green eating mango variety to grow. From Daley's list I have narrowed down to the following three types. 1) Nam Doc Mai 2) Keow Savoey 3) Kwan Most web forums always talk about the Nam Doc Mai but I have seen them at the local markets and the sellers say it's very sour to eat and only good for salads. Has anyone ever tasted any of the 3 mango varieties above when eaten green and how would you rate it ? | About the Author Michael Wakeley 14th August 2010 12:15am #UserID: 1746 Posts: 178 View All Michael's Edible Fruit Trees |

Michael says... Thanks all . I bought a Nam Doc Mai to try today at $8 a kilo and it was so sour . They also had Keow Savoey but at $20 a kilo I did not buy it but trusted the seller that it's good eating and sweet .I ended up buying a Keow Savoey plant today from a local nusery to be planted in ground in at spring time.

Paddy says... Both Nam Doc Mai and Keow Savoey are from Thailand. In Thailand,Nam Doc mai is most eaten when it's ripe with sticky rice cooked with coconut milk as a summer dessert. Keow Savoey is eaten most when it's raw or green.As its name meaning in thai language "Keow means green" and "Savoey means eat",so basically it means eating when it's green.Best to eat it when it's just almost ripe though.Too young or too raw can be sour. The bottom line is that you need to try all of them,people have different taste. | About the Author Patti1 Hervey Bay,QLD 20th August 2010 6:43pm #UserID: 4089 Posts: 7 View All Patti1's Edible Fruit Trees |

davewastech says... Hi guys, Anybody having success growing keow savoy near Sydney? If so I would like to grow one in Sydney. I read that it's polyembrionic - so would I be ok to grow it from seed? or better to buy grafted? (in Sydney) Plenty of keow savoy in the shops nowadays and it's become my favourite mango. Thanks for any advice, Cheers - Dave | About the Author davewastech WILLOUGHBY EAST,2068,NSW 29th October 2017 5:34pm #UserID: 7097 Posts: 115 View All davewastech's Edible Fruit Trees |
Waterfall says... Hi Dave, I have one growing in Sydney, its a few years old now and it is grafted. I got it at bunnings, I was very surprised to see it there as they usually only sell Bowen seedlings. I'm not sure what rootstock its on but it grows faster than my nam doc mai on dwarfing rootstock and a lot slower than my KP seedling. | About the Author Waterfall WATERFALL,2233,NSW 30th October 2017 10:11am #UserID: 10026 Posts: 422 View All Waterfall's Edible Fruit Trees |
davewastech says... Well I potted up a few KS seeds from shop-bought fruit yesterday. I'm not sure if the seed out of a green eating mango is viable when it's at the eating stage, but I'll see how they go. I had read somewhere that growing grafted mangoes rather than seedlings in climates like Sydney isn't really advantageous because it just slows down the growth, and it's already rather slow because of the cool winters. And older mango trees here are a lot smaller than what you see in the tropics. Not sure if I remember that correctly (can't find the link) | About the Author davewastech WILLOUGHBY EAST,2068,NSW 2nd November 2017 9:38pm #UserID: 7097 Posts: 115 View All davewastech's Edible Fruit Trees |
davewastech says... Well the Keow Savoy mango that I planted as a seed from a shop-bought green fruit did sprout ok and is now about 40cm high. That's 2 years since seed, in Sydney, in a pot, always outdoors. So far, so good. But I have since read somewhere that they don't perform well this far out of the tropics. | About the Author davewastech WILLOUGHBY EAST,2068,NSW 27th December 2019 2:08pm #UserID: 7097 Posts: 115 View All davewastech's Edible Fruit Trees |

Bangkokii says... Keo savoy is nice eaten green but there's a better one for green eating. I don't know it's name but i guess it's brahm kai meu...i grow 2 of those now but they still didn't bloom...one is 2.5 meters tall though. My thai mother in law had that very nice green mango but it died and we don't know the variety. That one we couldn't stop eating when green and crispy. | About the Author Bangkokii nonthaburi 14th January 2020 8:03pm #UserID: 16893 Posts: 74 View All Bangkokii's Edible Fruit Trees |

davewastech1 says... Wow, that photo of green fruit is impressive for a young mango tree in a non-tropical climate! Thanks for sharing - I'm getting more optimistic about mine now :) Did you have to spray for fungus, etc? I've also got an R2E2 seedling which I get a regular 8 or 9 fruit per year for the last 4 years. Bigger fruit of course, but your 15+ first crop is a lot | About the Author davewastech1 WILLOUGHBY EAST,2068,NSW 5th August 2020 1:02pm #UserID: 21898 Posts: 34 View All davewastech1's Edible Fruit Trees |

davewastech1 says... Hi Bangkokii, Don't know your variety, but there are many varieties of green eating mangoes in Thailand. We have much less in Australia but often the ones we grow are just those that can tolerate our climate without getting diseases. Here in Sydney it's too cool (not even sub-tropical), so mango trees are near the limit of what they can tolerate. For myself Keow Savoey is my favorite green mango. | About the Author davewastech1 WILLOUGHBY EAST,2068,NSW 8th August 2020 5:25pm #UserID: 21898 Posts: 34 View All davewastech1's Edible Fruit Trees |
