| Dear Tropical Fruit Lover, I got a Glen Mango early this year. Due to cold weather, I have to bring it indoor. Soon after two weeks being indoor, it started to have flower, and now the flowers are blooming at peak. My question is what can I do to pollinate the flower so that I can have some fruit. I am so excited about it, but realized that there is no fly in the house. Therefore, I am not sure if the my mango tree can have fruit while being indoor. I deeply appreciate any advise? Thanks, Tuan |

| You don't need to hand pollinate. I have two mango trees and fruits set naturaly. I suggest you to put a fan next to your tree to help the pollen to move or just shake the flowers time to time. |

| Yes, it does. I live in Montreal, so it is really cold. I have to bring 6 months of the year indoors. Since the sun is really weak here in winter I use artificial lighthing (HID) like metal halide lamps. I got 5 mangoes from the tree this year. |
