THANK INDIANS FOR THIS FRUIT

[@Robert-cd2ht]

Thank you come again.

[@shaunbang]

This guy is quite literally living my dream of being a self made farmer that grows my two favorite foods; avocados and mangoes lol I always thought it was odd how similar the two fruits were being the Pearish shape with a large seed in the middle you have to cut around but also growing on the tree similarly. Makes me wonder if they’re related and why I love both of them so damn much. I just sprouted my first mango seed and am so excited to grow it. Unfortunately I’ve tried avocado seeds but never get past the first stage of the tooth picks halfway in a cup of water as the water starts to ferment before the seed even sprouts :/ I really want my own fruiting mango and avocado trees but hopefully this mango seed is a good dna that fruits a lot as I don’t have any trees to take clippings from

[@SleepyLizard]

Shaun, it's been two months. how's the mango doing?

[@shaunbang]

@@SleepyLizard my first one has grown to about 6 inches high with about 6 leaves while my second one I sprouted about a week ago I just potted and hoping it grows too. I did transplant my first but it hasn’t grown any more. Could the plant be stunted because I left it in the first pot too long? I noticed that one of the big main roots was starting to curl when I transplanted it to a bigger pot :/

[@Pepso8P]

When I saw the grafted tree, I immediately remembered your recent video about grafting avocados and the fact that another plant could grow from a rootstock later on. The way this mango is grafted - under the first set of leaves - seems like a nice way to prevent that from happening as there is no leaf node to support such growth. Unless mango is the type of plant which sometimes grows another plant from its root. Anyway, I am really happy to see a video about mangoes from you as well. I've always been a huge fan of tropical plants, probably because those are something impossible for me to grow or even come across as I don't live in tropical climate. Mangoes are my favorite of those, so it is no surprise that I tried growing my own plant in a pot, not expecting any fruit, just for the sake of growing it. Unfortunately, all my attempts over the years have failed. I managed to get a plant several times using the first method you showed (although it always took a few weeks rather than just few days), however, the plant itself always stopped growing after the first set of leaves grew and died afterward. I think fungus gnats are the cause, they always appear out of nowhere and cause havoc...

[@SleepyLizard]

Pepso8P, thanks for the comments. Sometimes when I go to edit the vids I end up cutting something that in retrospect to I should have left in the vid. For example, that seed I had in the plastic bag for 10 days was one of five that I put in bags. The other 4 haven’t even started to sprout yet. I think it’s grate meat that you’re growing tropical fruit trees in your house. Maybe someday you’ll have access to a greenhouse and you’ll get fruit!

[@Pepso8P]

@@SleepyLizard Thank you for your responses. :) Hmm, I see. It isn't easy to decide what to leave in and what to edit out. But I think you are doing a great work! A little something missing here and there is not a big deal, that is what the comments are good for.

[@isaacalzate8262]

I have soo mamy questions but i know your probably very busy so i will only ask two. 1ST QUESTION will a mango grow quicker with the rotting fleshon it? Or will it grow just as quick if i eat the flesh out of it and just crack the seed open it and water it? Last question does the size of the mango fruit itself determine who big its seed will grow to be?For example if i have a 400 gram mango will it end up being a bigged mango tree than a 300 gram mango of the same species because its starting size is bigger or it doesnt really change the rate at which they both grow? THANK YOU SOO MUCHFOR THE VIDEO INFORMATION AND I WOULD BE VERY THANKFUL IF YOU COULD ANSWER MY QUESTIOM AS GOOGLE ISNF VERY HELPFUL

[@SleepyLizard]

Hi Isaac, I haven't experienced any difference in how fast they grow with either technique. The size of the seed does not determine the eventual size of your tree. It's the DNA of that particular tree that determines when it stops growing.

Where I come from-the UK- store bought mangoes don’t do mangoes justice. They’re all pretty bland with a kinda green taste and they are full of fibre making them extremely messy. Here in the UK if you want a legit good quality sweet mango it’s best to order em on line from a website that specialises in less common types of exotic fruit. I go with my exotic fruit . They are a lot more expensive than store bought mangoes though. I suppose you get what you pay for.

Mangoes, Avocados, Dragon fruit etc. are all awesome to grow, but they don't grow in Scotland unfortunately.

My grandmother was born in Scotland, came to America in 1910. From a geographic stand point I believe the closest avocado cultivation to you would be in southwestern England. There are some growers along the coast. But yeah, a bit to chilly in Scotland.

[@Veiss7]

You can put it in a small pot and put it indoors. If you have a good south facing window or indoor porch it should be fine. Just needs to be above 45~ degrees ferenheit. Plants will grow to the size of the container, so just make sure the pot is around a foot across or less. People do this with banana trees all the time!

[@TargaWheels]

Would it be better to take at least two scythes from the same tree, graft them on to other main stems, and plant them near each other so when they flower, they pollinate each other and give identical fruits to each other?

[@SleepyLizard]

It doesn't work that way. the fruit is determined by the mother tree. Pollination effects the seed inside the fruit. Also, most mango varieties are heterozygous which means that every seed is unique even if it was pollinated by the same variety. there are some exceptions which are known as Polyembryonic varieties which can produce clones

@@SleepyLizard how do you know what kind of mango tree you have? I grew a store bought mango from seed a couple years ago and I am planting it in the ground now and wondering what kind it is.

[@SleepyLizard]

@@danielsnyder8106 There are two possibilities. If the tree you planted was polyembryonic then you'll get the exact same mango variety as the one you ate. If the tree is not polyembryonic then you'll get a unique never before seen variety of mango (just like when people are born). If you get fruit in year 4 it will have been polyembryonic. You can then compare the way it looks to mangos online and determine the variety. If on the other hand you're 6,7,8 years down the road with no fruit it might take 10 or more and it will be unique.

[@danielsnyder8106]

@@SleepyLizard Thank you, if you dont mind me asking what are the odds that It will acutally grow fruit in year 4?

[@SleepyLizard]

@@danielsnyder8106 did the seed produce multiple shoots or just one? if the seed produced multiple shoots the odds are 100%. If only one shoot sprouted your odds are 0%

Yeah, he fucked up with this comment really bad.

Yeah Florida living

[@missyevitt8150]

I am allergic to the skin. I have to buy frozen mangos to enjoy them.

[@theoaronow]

I don't have a tree that I can get a clipping from to graft, any suggestions?

[@SleepyLizard]

With mangos you can try and find a polyembryonic variety. They don't need to be grafted. Altufo and Nam Duc Mai for example.

[@manoyski3555]

I have a fruiting Nam Duc Mai and started growing its seeds. Good eating mango from Thailand, it's fiberless and very sweet flesh.

[@SleepyLizard]

@@manoyski3555 and also polyembryonic. so delicious!

You made this so easy for me to learn thank you! 🥭

you are welcome Elba

[@dawnbuckner2369]

Yesterday bought two 🥭 to try from the farmers market here in Texas, loved them. I was wondering how to grow them so I could have them growing from seed. Saw your video and absolutely loved the instructions from this video. I’m a new subscriber, and want you to know I have written down the process from your information. By the way I am also growing lemons, oranges, lychees and avocados from seeds. I love growing plants, and where I live it doesn’t have too much cold here until December to March. Then starts warming up quickly by April. On the cold nights I bring them inside, my question is: When do I need to plant them and how do I keep them from the cold since they are able to be planted outside? I live in the North Eastern part of Texas near Oklahoma.

[@SleepyLizard]

can you google the USDA hardiness zone for your zip code and let me know what it says?

[@dawnbuckner2369]

Yes definitely. Hunt County hardiness zone 8a.

[@SleepyLizard]

@@dawnbuckner2369 that's gonna be tricky for Mango. They don't like too much time below 40F. I'm not sure if they'll survive.

[@TheKlopovClan]

If you are able to, dig a greenhouse 4-6 feet under ground and grow it in a pot in the greenhouse:)

[@elizabethboston2220]

Omg I love this video! 🥰🥰🥰 I stumbled across your page as I had wanted to grow a mango tree up in cold Massachusetts! Lol SUBSCRIBED!!!! You are too funny as well!🤣🤣🤣🥰

[@SleepyLizard]

Thank you Elizabeth. I get a surprising amount of tropical fruit enthusiasts from Massachusetts. Welcome to the channel

[@lemurciaa]

What if i dont have any adult mango tree but some seeds, would i grow a mango tree with fruits (from seed) without grafting ?

[@MRPucus]

yes bro

[@SleepyLizard]

if nobody near you has trees you'll have to resort to periodic google searches

[@lemurciaa]

@@SleepyLizard okay thank you so much for help

[@DanaGatlin]

I love you! This is a fabulous video. So instructional and well presented and truly inspiring! I just subscribed to your channel and I can't wait to see the rest. Btw, my two favorite trees are the mango and avocado I planted a few years ago. I want to have five of each and now I know how I'm going to do it! Thank you thank you thank you! Anytime you happen to be visiting Clearwater, look me up!

[@SleepyLizard]

Dana, thank you for your wonderful comment. I appreciate it. Stay close to the channel and keep us posted on your mango/avocado grove. Good luck!

[@DanaGatlin]

@@SleepyLizard you have a gorgeous yard or Grove or whatever it is. I have a little tiny piece of heaven that used to just be St Augustine grass and sand and concrete and now it is a highly imperfect but happy jungle. One of these days maybe I'll have a decent enough video to post online. But for now I plan to stay in close touch with you. You are my new guru! 💕

[@willowbe4747]

I lived in Florida all my life and have never seen a mango that huge!!! Wow!!! Nectarines and mangos truly are 2 of my favorites...loved your video! I have a mango tree growing doesn't require much, I tried to fertilize it and it was none too happy. It's still hanging in there. I'm looking into Bonsai so that i can keep it. Unsure of what species it is.

[@SleepyLizard]

Thank you for your comment and best of luck with your tree

[@lzcrkrs]

I did grow a mango tree from seed; started it last year just to see if it would grow. It's about a foot and half tall now, indoors and will be an indoor plant (cold, cold Winters here). I wonder, is there is a way to keep it small enough to keep as a houseplant? I have been observing it as it grows in the warm sunny window, and it pushes up new leaves every so often. Would pinching off the new leaves keep it from getting much taller? Would it hurt the tree? Has this ever been done? I don't expect fruit but I do like my tree.

[@SleepyLizard]

Yep! You have it exactly right. Pinch off the new growth and that will encourage lateral growth and thicken the stem. What part of the world are you in? (what cold part of the world? brrr)

[@RetzeSantos]

I'm doing the same thing but want to eventually move to south Florida so I can have tropical fruits.

[@SleepyLizard]

@@RetzeSantos We'll be here waiting for ya!

[@alexthai2456]

I can guarantee you that if you grow red watermelon, you won't get yellow watermelon..........so seeds keeping is very important...whatever you grow is what you will get...........if you want to call that variety you can........I don't call that variety.......I call that is what you grow and what you will get..........because if people kept saying variety that can confused many people.....they might thought that there are many type of fruits or plants........

[@SleepyLizard]

huh?
