Ive planted a mango tree today (done a little vid to hehe) but I was wondering how long is it before the tree is established and has anyone grew one in england?

[dandalady]

tried - germinated them from stones but always died off - even indoors

20 years - how big's your hothouse?

Also there is a question if they are refering to a mango or an avocado, the reply mentions mango, then avocado then says they nearly had fruit after 5 years. So it could have been 5 years for avocado.

Started this one off in may or june 2015, image was taken in october, seems to have gone dormant over the last couple months tho. hopefully going to see new growth soon?

welcome minion! Your mango is looking good! Now you'll have to hang around for 5 or 20 years to tell us how it gets on!
