The Nam Dok Mai tree is medium-sized, and can potentially reach heights of over six meters.

It is an early-midseason variety, with the potential for multiple crops in a year.

The fruit is elongated, with a prominent beak, and is normally yellow with green spots.

The flesh of the fruit is known for having very little fibre, strong and pleasant aroma, and very sweet taste.

Nam Dok Mai trees are planted in the USDA germplasm repository in Miami, Florida,[1] as well as the University of Florida's Tropical Research and Education Center.
