    Sorry Andrew photo hasnt appeared but I concur with the others Goat Willow was my first thought!
    Certainly not a Mango
  • Actually, the stem isn't that far off center. It was the angle of the photograph.

    Still not a mango, they need the seed removed from the stone evidently you don't just bury the stone. Either way something has seeded itself into your pot.
    As everyone has pointed out its not a Mango!
  • Andrew, thank you for going to that trouble and for adding more pics.
    I can add nothing more to convince you that your plant is a cuckoo.
    A weedy plant seeded into your pot.

    May I suggest you start again with a new Mango seed.
    When you see the leaves ....then maybe you will believe me.

    Agree with Silver surfer. Not looking like a Mango plant. I wonder if it could be some sort of Cotoneaster. Some can be quite weedy.

    I don't disbelieve anything anyone has said and I appreciate all the help given. I just presumed it was a Mango because when I planted the stone  this plant whatever it maybe, popped up and I took it to be a mango.
    After unearthing the mango stone it's obvious now that it never germinated.

    Thanks to all
