Mango wood is a hard and dense wood and is excellent for making furniture, provided it is properly seasoned in salt water and kiln dried. It is greenish-brown or yellowish in colour, coarse-textured, medium-strong, hard, durable in water, easy to work with and finishes well.
Mango develops small, white or pink flowers that consist of 5 petals. Individual flowers are part of branched inflorescence. Flowers of mango are pollinated by wind or by insects such as different types of flies, moths and butterflies. Mango develops egg- or kidney-shaped fruit covered with smooth skin. Size of the fruit and color of the skin depends on the variety. Most commercially available mango varieties have reddish-green skin. Edible part of the fruit consists of orange flesh that surrounds large seed, located centrally. Mango tree starts to produce fruit after four years.
