We lived at Daintree in Far Nth Queensland for seven years. I planted approximately twenty Kensington Pride mango trees that I grew from seed and they never flowered in the seven years we were there. On return visits I was informed that they did flower at about ten years old and at fifteen years old they were cropping heavily. Night temps where we lived rarely dropped below 20 deg C.
Hi Geoff, wow interesting! I certainly think our cold winter nights here would help trigger earlier flowering. You just reminded me to go and check on the tree this season (no chickens at the moment so haven’t even been in there). Covered in fruit! Hopefully some make it this year, last year none did. Thanks for sharing Geoff. All the best. Dan
@@PracticalPrimate We are now living at Hervey Bay in Queensland where the climate is much milder. The mango in the photo is a grafted Bambaroo, bred from a K.P.. It is three years old and has been in the ground for about a year. It set about 40 fruit and I removed all but about 20 which are now almost full grown. The tree is about 1.2 mts (four feet) high, I am going to try and source another one. My R2E2 is the same age and is slightly taller, it has 6 fruit getting close to full size. It looks like I am unable to post a photo on CZcams.
Hi. It did but none made it to maturity (fell off/taken early). It has another bunch on at the moment, hoping to taste them this year. They are an odd shaped mango but that’s all I know so far.
@@PracticalPrimate awesome. Thanks for your response. I look forward to seeing what happens if the fruit males it all the way this season and the taste of the fruit. I am also growing from seed. That's why I'm curious. Mine is only 1 year old.
@@indrajittripura4399 that's likely why, the guy in the video mentioned that cold snaps trigger flowering in Mangoes so your Mango may not have flowered due to that. Though, I dunno how you'd be able to make the air around the tree cold enough (probably aim for a bit more than 0 degrees Celsius) but its all I can think of to make it flower more quickly.
Hi Isaac, this first lot of fruit got taken by wildlife before I tried them (completely forgot about them). It has quite a few fruit on it now so hopefully I’ll try them this year.
@@PracticalPrimate RIP, that sucks xD But its okay, I was just curious since I recently had a Mango seedling germinate. Though, I'm gonna try a weird experiment with it to see if its possible to make a cutting with one of its seed leaves to get a "cutting" off the tree it came from (seed leaves kinda develop before germination) lol
Reuploaded due to an audio issue (thanks Tazia for letting me know).
Can you graft a different variety mango to a rootstock?
Thank you for posting this informative video. I enjoyed it. It took my mango tree 5 years to finally produce mangoes. Here in central fl.

That’s pretty impressive at only 3 years from seed. Will be interesting to find out how it turns out.
Yeah I knew they were quick but I was surprised!
Amazing how quickly some tropicals will flower in the correct climate
Good stuff, I have found the same. Seedlings are very quick to flower.
That's such good news for me I'm growing a couple Mango Trees from seed an there going on three years now 🎉🎉🎉,but I'm going to be patient still
Great video mate. I don't think I've really heard much about selling mangoes apart from kps. Interesting to see how it comes out
Thanks Jason. Should be interesting!
Three years is very unusual
Tie a red ribbon on the pomegranate tree, I don't know why it works but it works!
Is this from a polyembryonic seed? Did it have more than one plant germinating?
It is very likely polyembryonic but by the time I found it only one tree was growing
Hi there. Did this seedling fruit? I see this was posted a year ago.

Please show us some fotos of the fruit
It’s been eight years. I’m still waiting.
But I didn’t plant any seeds either
Is it easy to graft ?
Hi Sandra, thanks for asking. Mango is very easy :)
Here’s a video where I show the basics czcams.com/video/TRP6DyLZZkM/video.html
❤❤
Are these plants air layered? Or grafted
Seedling. Mangos can be pretty quick!
6 year still not fruit from scratch water everyday
What are the minimum temperatures where you guys live?
@@Isaac-ho8gh max 30 min 20

3y from seed, in subtropics.
This mango has grown up from seeds iam talking about the 2nd tree
What are its fruits like? I couldn't find videos about this seedling from after this video but all good if you didn't get any fruit off it.
