Default Mango

The message
from "@ttilla the pun" contains these words:

Is it possible to grow a mango from the seed of a mango fruit,would I need
greenhouse conditions & how do I go about doing it?


Yes. Scrape off as much of the remaining stringy pulp as possible and
plant in peat or peat and sand. Keep moist and warm. Water with a little
fungicide from time to time (I used Murphy's for lemon pips, and they
rot very easily. They're just beginning to come up now).

You would need greenhous conditions - think the south of India. And you
would also need a conservatory like something at Kew - mango trees are
vast.
