| A while after I bought my King Thai mango tree I noticed two other seedlings growing in the pot and transferred them into another pot. Any idea what these are and besides if they are worth keeping? |

| I think you could be right rhizo. Looks the same as this to me : http://www.weeds.org.au/cgi-bin/weedident.cgi?tpl=plant.tpl&card=S05 Was hoping for a fruit tree :( Well, easy come easy go. |

| Yep. Looks like Castor bean plant to me, too. They're a handsome plant, in their own right - and the seeds are interesting to me (I'm a veterinarian and teach parasitology) - they look like a big, engorged female tick! |
