A Pre-Order Grafting Request is an order for us to produce the specific tree that we don't currently have available in stock. We must graft the tree and then it must go through a multi-month process to heal and grow. Only Once the small tree has completed two flushes of growth since it was grafted do we consider it ready to leave our nursery.

This mango is sometimes referred to as the Golden Nam Doc Mai.
Unlike most Nam Doc Mais, Sia Tong fruit turns a bright yellow golden color at maturity.
The fruit are medium-sized, with the classic sigmoid-tapering shape associated with Nam Doc Mai, but average smaller than Nam Doc Mai #4 and Nam Doc Mai Mun fruit. The flesh is light yellow, silky smooth and has the same flavor, with honeyed floral sweetness lacking any tartness or acid component.
The seed is long, thin, and polyembryonic.
Sia Tong trees are not as precocious as Nam Doc Mai #4, and tend to be more vigorous growers. However, their production is good, and Sia Tong fruit tend to split open less than the other versions of Nam Doc Mai.
Sia Tong has good disease resistance and fruited well in Loxahatchee Groves under high disease pressure. It is a mid-season mango for us in West Palm Beach, ripening from latew June into July most years. The trees are moderately vigorous growers with dense, vertical canopy.
