Nam Doc Mai Mango 1 Live Bare Root Tree – Mangifera indica Seedling

Nam Doc Mai Mango is a tropical fruit tree associated with Mangifera indica, valued for its evergreen foliage and mango fruit. This listing includes 1 live mango seedling supplied in bare-root form. The seller identifies the plant as a Nam Doc Mai mango and an Mangifera indica seedling.

Size Disclosure: The listing title states 8–16 inches, while the item specifications state 7 inches item length. Because the supplied 7-inch measurement is identified as item length rather than plant height, it is not represented as shipping height.

Mango trees prefer warm tropical and subtropical conditions, full sun, and well-drained soil. UF/IFAS lists Mangifera indica for USDA Zones 10B–11. In Central and South Florida, UF/IFAS currently recommends managing mango to prevent escape, while it is not considered a problem species in North Florida.

Plant Form: Bare root.

Soil Disclosure: The listing identifies the plant as bare root but also lists soil under “Set Includes.” The actual shipment contents should be confirmed by the seller; no soil is assumed in this listing.

Origin: Seller lists Puerto Rico as the country/territory of origin. USDA APHIS places restrictions on agricultural material moving from Puerto Rico to the U.S. mainland, including specific restrictions concerning plants and soil.

Plant Condition Disclosure:

Live plants may be shipped dormant, leafless, recently pruned, bare root, or partially defoliated depending on season, weather, and shipping requirements.

Natural variation in size, branching, foliage density, color, root structure, and overall appearance should be expected.

Important Note:

You will receive a live starter plant (seedling/young plant). Listing photos show the plant at a mature stage for reference only. The actual plant size, shape, and appearance may vary and will be significantly smaller than the images shown.

❓ FAQ:

1. What USDA zones are suitable for Nam Doc Mai mango?
Mangifera indica is generally suited to warm USDA Zones 10B–11. Mangoes require tropical or subtropical conditions and protection from frost.

2. How much sunlight does a mango tree need?
Mango trees perform best in full sun. The seller's listing also mentions medium sun and shade, but full sun is preferred for a fruit tree.

3. How much water does a mango tree need?
The seller lists medium watering. Consistent moisture is important while avoiding poorly drained or persistently waterlogged soil.

4. What is the growth habit of a mango tree?
Mangifera indica is a perennial evergreen tree. The seller's “climbing” growth-habit designation is not consistent with the species' tree growth form.

5. Can a Nam Doc Mai mango be grown in a container?
A young mango can be maintained in a suitable container while small, provided it receives adequate sunlight, drainage, and appropriate growing conditions. Long-term fruit-tree performance requires warm conditions and sufficient growing space.
