Growing Mango Trees From Seed
It is quite easy for growing mangoes from seed is actually. (After removing the slash we have stored the seeds of the mangoes, dry and freeze are thrown out in the garden as mulch, and they all grow...)
Seed selection is the most important step. If you take from any old shop seed it may not grow true to type. You should need to collect "polyembryonic" variety.
That means is that the seed will sprout several identical trees. And those seedling trees will be identical to the parent tree. They are clones.
Ideally can know the parent tree, it's from your nearest area, grows really well and gets a bumper crop every year! If not, oh well. Get seed from a polyembryonic variety and at least you know that the fruit you harvest will taste the same.
The best time to grow mangoes from seed is the beginning of the wet season or rainy season.
Eat a nice mango, remove as much flesh from the seed as possible and then let it dry for a day or two.
To germinate the mango seed you placed in moist place and wait for it to sprout.
You can plant those mango seeds individually. They should take about 20 to 30 days to sprout.
