Those mangoes were probably from the Philippines. The regular kind we got at grocery store taste like a different fruit. I bought some Mexican organic mangoes once from a Wild Oats, a health food chain and those were pretty close in taste and texture to the Asian kind. Very good, wish I am biting into one now. :-)
As for growing them, I cannot pretend I know anything but my guess is the environemnt plays a huge part. We might not be able to grow the same fruit here in North America.
Suppose they aren't frost hardy?
I'd love to try one here in the south of France
Hi Redrose
I have grown a few mangos as houseplants. What I have always
done is to (carefully!) split the pit of the mango in half. Inside you
will find the seed, which looks like a giant lima bean. Plant this in
moist potting soil and keep warm. I've had one for a couple of years
now. I wouldn't expect it to fruit, or survive outside unless you live in
southern florida or Hawaii.
Good Luck
