Hi!

About 2,5 years ago i planted a mango from seed. Its been standing in my window sill and occasionally outside on my balcony. The soil is a mix of general garden soil and coco. I live in Norway(6) so this project is most likely not to be succesful. But I give it ago anyways..

Recently my mango plant started to make some resin underneath the leafs. I�ve tasted this sticky stuff and its somehow sweet to the taste. The bees seem to enjoy this resin and whenever I but my mongo outside they come flying.

But whats does this resin mean? Hormonal shift related to fruiting? Defence against pests? Getting rid of sugars due to salty soil?

I hope someone here could give me an answer of whats causing this.
