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, I've done that once a long time ago. Cleaned the stone (not sure
it's the right term), dry it a little bit then simply put it in a pot of
compost. The plant I got seemed quite happy in "normal" house
environnement. I found the plant rather nice, a bit like an avocado
tree, but it grew VERY slowly... At the end, I think it died while I was
on holiday.

Philippe did you get any fruit?

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.

I've some grenadillo seeds - they're easy. I've half a dozen coming up
ATM. I wish I liked grenadillos better...

I've also planted a tray of chinese gooseberry seeds, and these do grow
outside and, I believe, fruit. The seds aren't the freshest, and may
come to nothing. However, they aren't difficult to come by. Very
decorative but rather intrusive, yer chinese goosegog. Yo do need a male
and a female vine though to have any hope of getting fruit.

you can grow fruit trees from stones and seeds but don't hope for any fruit
for many years - you are better off buying a grafted plant.

definitely need a greenhouse...also mango trees are enormous....think old
oak tree size...nice leaves too...
