How to prune nam doc mai mango

After each major harvest; in year-round tropical climates, after the primary fruiting season. Prune back new vegetative shoots to 20–30 cm stubs after harvest to trigger the lateral flush that will carry flowers. Open the canopy centre to reduce anthracnose risk in humid conditions. Nam Doc Mai is relatively compact — avoid overly hard pruning which can delay the return to flowering.

Annually (or after each major fruiting cycle in year-round tropical climates). Nam Doc Mai is a Thai heritage cultivar prized for its elongated, sweet fruit. It benefits from post-harvest pruning to manage canopy density and encourage the growth flushes needed for next-season flowering. In tropical and subtropical conditions, it may flush and flower multiple times per year, so observe tree cycle before pruning.
