Hi,

I had a Nam Doc Mai #3 for about 4 years in the ground. The tree grew to about 15 feet quickly and was a very vigorous grower. Incredible fruit, but for my area the tree was always having issues with disease and sooty mold. I eventually just chopped it down and replaced it with something else. Yeah, I could have grafted something onto it, but I wasn't so sure about the rootstock, so I didn't bother.

My local nursery told me that Nam Doc Mai is considered a dwarf tree now. The #3 definitely wasn't a dwarf, so I'm wondering if the #5 is on some new dwarfing rootstock? If so, I'm considering getting another one for a container.

Does anyone have experience growing or know anything about the #5?

Thanks,

Shawn
