    I am growing what I believe is a mango tree indoors. The tree is approximately 24 inches tall. I have nipped some of the new growth to promote some early branching and am fertilizing with a standard liquid 10-15-10 plant food.

    The mango tree is growing buds for the plant's flower. The flower does not resemble any Mango flower I could find on the internet so I am not 100% sure that the plant I have growing is a Mango.

    Can anyone confirm based on the attached photo's? Also, should I nip the flowers or allow the tree to do it's own thing.

    Wow...thanks. I would never have figured that out. It does look like Ardisia elliptica. A far cry from a Mango.
