The mango tree is a flowering plant that takes between 5-8 years before producing fruit.  It provides large garden landscapes with tons of shade while attracting birds, bees and butterflies.

The mango tree is accustomed to being grown into an ornamental tree or used for indoor or container planting.  It is a flowering plant that flourished in loamy, moist, well-drained soil as long as it’s planted in direct sunlight.
