Distributed in: Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, Hawaii [US], India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam (Oceania and S.E. Asia)

Distribution overview: Indigenous to India and Burmawhere it still occurs in the wild. As long ago as the 16th century mangos had been distributed via cultivation throughout the Indian subcontinent, and eventually to all tropical regions of the world. In many places it has naturalized. Performs best at elevations from 0-1200 m. with a pronounced rainy season for vegetative growth and dry season for flowering and fruiting, and on well-drained soils ranging in pH from 5.5 to 7.5.

Common uses: Balusters, Beams, Bedroom suites, Bent Parts, Boxes and crates, Building construction, Building materials, Cabin construction, Cabinetmaking, Casks, Chairs, Chests, Concrete formwork, Construction, Core Stock, Decks, Decorative plywood, Decorative veneer, Desks, Dining-room furniture, Domestic flooring, Drawer sides, Excelsior, Factory construction, Factory flooring, Figured veneer, Fine furniture, Flooring, Form work, Foundation posts, Framing, Furniture , Furniture components, Furniture squares or stock, Hatracks, Heavy construction, Interior trim, Joinery, Light construction, Plywood, Pulpwood, Turnery, Veneer

Product sources: Apart from timber, the Mango tree is also a source of many non-timber products, the most popular of which is the Mango fruit. The fruit occupys the same position in the tropics as the apple fruit enjoys in temperate America and Europe. The seeds of the tree are a source of food during hard times in India, and is also used for flour. Leaves are fed to cattle but, they can be toxic if feeding is done over a prolonged period. Urine of cattle fed on mango leaves are used as a yellow dye. In the Hindu religion, the leaves of Mango trees are used as decoration at many ceremonials and festivals.

Environment profile: Data source is World Conservation Monitoring Center Classified as Vulnerable in the Philippines. Status in the wild is currently listed as unknown because of inadequate information in Bangladesh, Myanmar or Burma, Thailand, Vietnam, Sabah (Malaysia), and the following areas in China: Guangdon-Haina, Fujian Province, and Yunnan Province

Tree size: Tree height is 30-40 m
