Yes, you can grow a mango tree from a seed - and Nam Doc Mai is the one to plant. This variety is well-adapted to South Florida. You can buy the mango fruit from Truly Tropical farm in Delray Beach: http://delraymango.blogspot.com

Nam Doc Mai is a polyembryonic mango and when planted, the seed will produce several seedlings most of which will produce fruit that is true to type. Still, have in mind that trees propagated by grafting will come into production earlier, producing fruit 1-2 years after planting vs. seedlings which can take up to 5 years to fruit.
