Abstract:
The mango (Mangifera indica L.)
is an evergreen tropical tree belonging
to the family Anacardiaceae.
The
more familiar cashew nut is a member
of this family.
The flowers are borne
on terminal panicles.
On a panicle
there are as many as 1500 flowers or
more, most of which are staminate.
The fruit is a drupe and are borne
singly or in clusters.
The size of the
fruit varies from a few ounces to as
much as 2 or 3 pounds.
In Hawaii,
the fruiting season begins as early
as April and ends as late as October.
The long season is primarily the result
of cultivars coming into bearing
at different times of the year.
