Do my mango seeds grow fruits?

Question

I have planted mango seeds a few weeks ago after I ate the fruit, and now they have started to grow leaves. Do they eventually grow fruits? If so, how can I take care of them from now on? I live in Southern California. It is warm and we get a lot of sunshines all year around.

Answer 1

Yes, they will. But you should prepare enough space because mango tree can grow quite big. Just water them, give them enough fertilizer and sunshine. Perhaps you can apply pesticide to the tree when necessary.

Answer 2

You will eventually get mango, but eventually is the operative word here. I know 'cause I've done it ...... seems so much more natural to start from seed. But go to a nursery and get a grafted mango and you will have fruit in about 3 years. Saves years of waiting!

Friend planted a seed, it shot up and ended up a 15 foot monster of a tree. After years of no fruit he ended up hanging a hammock in it. Only last year, at 9 years old, did it have fruit, and it was dropping before it ripened.
This year he's hoping for a decent crop, but he doesn't need it. He bought a grafted tree a few years back for 12 bucks, and it was covered in fruit. ;)

Answer 4

yes they will bear fruits but you have to wait for some years :) quite long though...you just have to water them and you can add fertilizers. here in our country, we practice this thing where we try to set fire on some dried fallen leaves on a pile and then let the smoke go to the mango tree. i don't know what's the big deal about it but it sure thus help in making the tree bear a lot of fruits! now we have 6 mango trees :)

Answer 5

When it reaches maturity it will start to bloom, then fruits would likely follow after that... but you have a long wait... it takes a lot of years for a mango tree to bear fruits.

Answer 6

should eventually fruit but don't hold your breath. Mine take up to 8 years to do anything much except feed the possums. In the long run with water etc it is cheaper to buy a grafted and known variety. Fun trying though.
