🌱 Story of Mango Tree
Mangifera indica, commonly known as the mango tree, is a large evergreen fruit tree with a spreading canopy. It features glossy dark green leaves, fragrant flowers, and produces edible mango fruits. In cultivation, trees are often pruned to 10-15 meters for easier harvesting, though wild or unmanaged trees can reach 30 meters or more. It thrives in tropical and subtropical climates, preferring well-drained soils and full sun. The tree provides shade, fruit, and supports biodiversity while contributing to carbon sequestration through its substantial biomass.
