Overview

The Mango Tree (Magnifera indica) is a robust, evergreen tree that can soar to heights of 65-100 feet. With a broad, dense canopy, it typically spans 33-49 feet wide. Ideal in USDA zones 10-11, mangoes prefer full sun and well-draining soil. Spring blossoms give way to juicy, tropical fruit which is both ornamental and edible. Allow ample space from structures to accommodate its extensive root system. Annual growth is roughly 1-2 feet.
