How can one begin Ogbono farming?
Any advice?
I learnt recently Ogbono comes from the seed of Bush Mango tree.
Is it possible to obtain Ogbono from regular mango seeds?

Nope, you cannot get ogbono from regular mango, has to be wild mango. The wild mango seed germinates without problems and required little attention to maturity, it takes about 4years.

Best of luck bro

Ogbono farming is good o but it takes years before you begin to reap what you sow

Thanks for your input, is there a region of the country where it grows wild because though we Igbos love Ogbono, I have never knew it even grew on trees until recently, so perhaps it seems to not be too abundant in Anambra.

Yes, mostly in the south west farming sites, I believe I can foster anywhere mango can. What you need to do is plant one or two as experiment and see what you'll learn

Do you know if South Westerners use Ogbono in any popular dishes?

We do to here in Bayelsa
