Mango: Project for Kids and Adults Alike

Pick up a Mango at the grocery store.

Lay down newspaper and carefully slice down one side so that the middle is left intact.  Be prepared for a mess. This is where the seed is.  It is around 3 inches long and 1.5 inches wide.  Pull the seed out and clean as mush of the flesh off of it as you can.  You won’t get it all so don’t worry.  Be sure and plant right away and don’t let the seed dry out.

Plant the seed in a high quality soil mix in a 1 gallon container or larger.

In about two weeks a sprout will emerge.

Mango seedling 2 and a half weeks from planting. Once it reaches this stage be careful not to disturb the forming tap root.

After only a month a tree is well on its way and 6" tall.
