:) Well, like you said, I'd wait and see. It takes up to 60 days for mango seeds to sprout... I'm not sure about how it'll do, as it's so young, but use compost for soil and keep the seed nice and warm. And are you sure about starting the tree from seed? Mangos take up to 8 years to fruit from seed... It's a huge investment. Good luck, MrBlubs

Yeah I thought as much :\

I'm not growing it for the fruit, I'm just seeing if I actually can grow it to begin with! It's winter and I get bored so I start trying to grow things. Last year it was lemons and they actually grew and are still around so I figured I'd try to grow all the fruit I could get from a grocery store just to see what would survive. Plus I love house plants and it's fun to say you have a mango tree growing in your room.

Currently I have 5 pomegranate seedlings and I just planted some grape fruit seeds. Which is actually what caused me (I mean my friend) to dig up the seed in the first place cause I needed the room and like I said I thought it wasn't going to germinate, otherwise I probably would have just left it. I suppose I'm very impatient.

I'm also gonna try to grow oranges and a lime if I can ever find the variety that has seeds! And what's stopping me from trying kiwis and papaya? :P

Since I'm in zone 3b however I don't expect many of them to survive due to our long cold dry winters and short summers. But I figured I'd give it a go!

I'm at least expecting them germinate and after that I'll try my best to keep em going until Spring.

Here's to hoping I see a sprout pop up in the next couple days! I'll give it at least another 2 weeks until I check to see if the seed is rotten or not. And I'll do this in a way that does not dig up the seed but just exposes the top and doesn't affect any roots.

I currently have 9 lemons, 3 key limes, 3 blackberries, couple avocado, a single raspberry and a bunch kiwi seedlings under lights because I too get bored this time of year. The kiwi had a surprisingly great germination rate straight out of the fruit without any stratification or scarring but they are the absolute worst about growing an inch tall and just dying over night.

Ah, Nice! Wish I had lights

I'm thinking I might try Kiwis closer to spring so I can plant them outside at my Cabin. They seem more finicky than the others and I doubt they would do well inside.

Where did you get your limes? So far I'll I've found are the seedless variety.

key limes are available in bags at my local grocery and are full of seeds, though they are much smaller fruit than the other lime varieties I see at the grocery.
