The wife grumbles..but this was by far the largest seed from I Mango I've ever seen. The Mango itself was huge..enough for two people. Its probably a Keitt considering the time of year.
Nothing in life is a guarantee,but as a gardener I still think I will be around to see it as a tree.

Ruth Bancroft who started the famous Cactus and Succulent garden,was in her 50's when she started it back in the 1970's. She's 102 now? Something like that.
I still have a hard time with the idea I have a limit. Thinking part- yes,emotional part..no. Actually Penney,I think i should be 24 forever.
I liked that age best..lol.

The mango seed is unbelievable! Very greedy really as there's not a lot of room for the fruity bit!

Ster,thats just the husk. But,its one huge seed for a Mango. I've started them before and this is a Baby Huey compared to those!

I grew one from seed but it didn't grow very fast. I think it didn't like my kitchen. :0)

Oh - glad to hear there was some fruit round it then!

It's a Keitt mango seed, right? It typically is a large seed. I have several I'm starting from seed. I just put them into pot a few days ago. Also, I'm putting my 3' mango tree into the ground in a few days (it's way too hot now). I'll see how fast it'll grow in the ground.

Remember I posted the google view of a Mango in Huntington Beach- the ocean was down the street. from 2011 when it showed as 2' or so..to 2015 when it was 8-10' with fruit shows how fast they grow.
Repeat- ( I wonder what it looks like now in 2017)

You are quite a bit warmer then Newport Beach. Probably get that growth in much less time.

Ok, I'll check it out.
Yes, it's a lot hotter here than in Newport Beach. This is what concerns me. It may grow too fast for the spot.

WeatherUnderground said the low in Honolulu 2 days ago was a 57f...but a high of 85f made up for that.
26 Oct, 2017
That just absolutely amazes me! I'm from Honolulu, don't remember it being this cool in October (I guess it was a record low). That's a temperature that's more apt for San Diego...the cooler night and warmer day (for this time of the year).
