Mangos belong to the genus Mangifera of the family Anacardiaceae.
The genus Mangifera contains several species
that bear edible fruit. Most of the fruit trees that are commonly
known as mangos belong to the species Mangifera
indica. The other edible Mangifera species generally have
lower quality fruit and are commonly referred to as wild
mangos.
Mango has become naturalized and adapted throughout
the tropics and subtropics. Much of the spread and naturalization
has occurred in conjunction with the spread of
human populations, and as such, the mango plays an important
part in the diet and cuisine of many diverse cultures.
There are over 1000 named mango varieties throughout the
world, which is a testament to their value to humankind.
Mango is a common garden tree throughout the tropics.
When ripe, this delicious dessert fruit is particularly high
in vitamin A. The fruit is also eaten green, processed into
pickles, pulps, jams, and chutneys, and is frozen or dried.
The fruit is also an important source of sustenance for birds,
bats, insects, and mammals.
Although grown widely, mangos prefer a warm, frost-free
climate with a well defined winter dry season. Rain and
high humidity during flowering and fruit development
reduces fruit yields. The tree generally flowers in mid- to
late winter, with fruit maturing in the early to mid-summer
months. Mango trees are usually between 3 and 10 m
(10–33 ft) tall but can reach up to 30 m (100 ft) in some
forest situations. The canopy is evergreen with a generally
spreading habit.The heavy canopy of the mango is a source
of shelter and shade for both animals and humans.
