Mango tree?

arial1black

Has anyone used a mango tree for Bonsai? If so how hard was it? I have 2 trees started from seed and would like to work with one. Oh by the way this would be my first.

Mangos have huge leaves. it wouldn't beas big a problem in the tropics I suppose but I think it would be highly challenging as an indoor.

I was suspicious that the leaves would be large. I started the mangos for memory sake. I am a sculpture and learned to sculpt in clay under a mango tree while living in the tropics. Guess I will have to start with another and easier tree.

I forgot to say I was there teaching in an international school and don't speak Spanish, so please no one reply in Spanish.
