Re: Mango seed

Here are thorough instructions:
http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/m...ml#Propagation

Seeds must be fresh and come from fully ripe fruit. Temperature should be kept between 25 and 40 degrees celsius, optimally around 30.

You should know that the tree may not produce fruit anything like the parent.
