I think Noris Ledesma has been trying to propagate this at Fairchild farm unsuccessfully.
I have 3 seeds germinating at the moment in soil under plastic bags for some extra humidity. Root development is extremely fast in soil. Tried the paper towel method as well, but it was much slower. Did you get yours from Nimfa? If so, they will probably arrive already germinated.Best regards,Scott

They were unsuccesful first few years because they did not have appropriate rootstock, Will not take on most mangiferas. I believe now they have appropriate rootstock.
