How to open a Mango Seed

I made this video for a friend, I thought I'd post it just in case anyone else needs help opening a seed.

Be sure to let it dry out then pry open the sides gently without hurting the seed. 







Thanks for watching

Mango Madness

My friend has an amazing Mango Tree in his yard.  It has tons of Mangoes.  I am so going to take advantage ;)

I found some that just fell off the tree ,  I cleaned them up and let them dry out. 

After they dried out I opened them up and planted them in cups. 

Be sure to plant the seed sideways. Do not bury deep just lightly cover it. 

I did this in small cups, then l moved them over to larger ones. 

I am in desperate need of pots. These days they are hard to come by.  People are waking up and growing their own.

I added them to a mixture of Coconut Coir , Perlite and Potting soil

I do have my own Mango tree, however it not as large as my friends

My goal is to learn how to graft the young Mango (Rootstock) with a Scion (Bud or shoot from fruiting tree).

also if you look closely , you will see tinfoil in the tree.

I am learning how to air layer, in a few weeks we will see how that turned out.

Thanks for Checking out my Dig!
