As potted plants, however, they grow much shorter. The mango fruit surrounds a large seed that is sealed inside a hard husk. Mangoes grow true from seed, making it possible to plant them from fruit purchased at the market. The seed grows into a small plant or tree that makes an attractive houseplant or outdoor potted plant. In time, the tree may even produce its own mango fruit.
