Mission - Finding mango scions and seeds in the EU, day... (read to find out)

(1/3) > >>

sneakz:
First things first, I'm a hobbist and i love mangoes. The problem is super market mangoes taste horrible here, so I started a project 3 years ago. A potted mango, on my balcony during summer and inside during winter.

My mango is all grown up now and ready for a graft, the thing is, I barely even found mango trees for sale in the EU, not even close to finding scions or seeds. And even so, the varieties I found aren't really my favorites.

If anyone is wondering, the reasons I don't buy from outside the EU are:
1. Small survivability for scions
2. Ridiculous costs ($70 only the phytosanitary certificate + shipping, and in my country it's a lot)

So if you are from the EU, and can help me, please please contact me!

If you are not from the EU, you can still help! If you are willing you can send me some of your polyembrionic mango varieties' seeds, without a phyto certificate, they might be thrown away, or they might be held on to, but hey, there is a chance they will pass, and maybe you would have thrown it away anyways, so, why not give it a shot?

I'm going to give updates weekly, updating you on how many days have passed, and if I got results. If you think it's annoying please let me know to stop!
