Mango trees are cultivated in most tropical and sub-tropical areas. They can grow up to 130 feet tall, with a wide-branching canopy. The tree can live for a very long time, and it is said that a Mango tree will still produce fruit even after 300 years! The large, leathery leaves can grow up to 12 inches long. They are usually a rich green color, although younger leaves may have a red or yellow hue. The flowers of the Mango tree are small and fragrant, with five petals ranging from white to soft pink in color.

The Mango itself , the fruit of the tree, is a fleshy fruit with an oblong and fibrous pit. The skin of the Mango varies in color from yellow, red, orange or even green depending on the variety. The size also differs between types, ranging anywhere from half a pound up to a whopping 4 pounds for a single fruit! The firm and fibrous flesh of the Mango is usually a deep yellow. Mango fruits have a sweet smell and delectable taste and are often enjoyed fresh or dried.
