I'd love to grow a coconut tree here in the UK but I've heard its next to impossible to grow one here, I don't think Kew Gardens even has one...lol I was told that Mango's are also impossible to grow here but after doing some extensive research there have been people growing them as house plants and can last up to 10 years until they get to big for the plant pot. They will never fruit tho but are interesting to look at and have as plants. I have 6 mango seeds that I've planted so far. I'm hoping that I will get one or two good mango plants out of them. Its more of an experiment I must admit I'm quite abscessed with the idea of growing a mango plant, if I succeed I'll try growing a papaya next although I'll probably just try grow one any how. One thing I wish I could do is have the roof on my house removed and have it replaced by a glass roof, then my whole house can become a jungle of exotic plants.
