    Hi, I really want to grow some mango trees in a greenhouse here in Minnesota, but I was wondering if there are going to be any surprises along the way, like will the trees still bear fruit and if so how much? Am I fantasizing or shouldn't I be able to grow mangoes if I keep the temp up, and run a dehumidifier?

    Never say never, but I understand that to have a mango tree bear fruit in a northern greenhouse is rare to unheard of... jump in here anyone that knows otherwise....

    The solar insolation, heat and humidity are almost impossible to replicate in a domestic greenhouse.
    That being said, go forth and give it your best effort!
