Tree Description

Mango trees, primarily from the species *Mangifera indica*, are large, long-lived fruit trees native to South Asia and widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. They can grow up to 100 feet tall with a dense, rounded canopy. The evergreen leaves are lanceolate and glossy, starting reddish or purplish and maturing to dark green. Mango trees produce small, fragrant white to yellow flowers in large panicles, leading to the development of the fruit.

The mango fruit is a drupe with a range of sizes, shapes, and colors (green, yellow, red), and its flesh is typically juicy, sweet, and aromatic. These trees thrive in warm climates and well-drained soils. They require regular watering when young and are more drought-tolerant when mature. Mango trees are propagated by seeds or grafting, with grafting preferred for commercial cultivation.

Mangoes are consumed fresh and processed into products like juice, nectar, and dried mango. They are rich in vitamins A and C, and antioxidants, making them nutritious as well as delicious. The wood of mango trees is also used for furniture and other items. Notable varieties include Alphonso, Haden, and Tommy Atkins, each with unique flavor profiles and uses.
