MaMa Jack, If you are patient I can get you several different kinds of mango seed, but, they are from hybrid trees and rarely do they come true from seed. The nice thing about the seed is that no matter how it turns out it will produce a plant that has edible fruit, it just won't be exactly like the parent. I have a client that has several different kinds of hybirds and all summer long I am pulling up seedlings that the squirrels have planted in the flowerbeds. To get mango to sprout you really need a tree ripened fruit/seed and warm night time temps (mid-70's). I will be working there tomorrow, it I find a sprouter that I have missed (the place is over an acre) I might be convinced to save it for you.
