Workability: If interlocked or wild grain is present, tearout is common when machining. However, Mango is also susceptible to both fungal and insect attack. Rot Resistance:Mango is rated anywhere from moderately durable to perishable. With a medium to coarse texture and good natural luster. Grain/Texture: Grain can be straight or interlocked. Curly or mottled grain patterns are also common. Paler sapwood is not always clearly defined. Under normal circumstances, heartwood is a golden brown, while other colors such as yellow and streaks of pink and/or black can also occur. Crop of the Day: Mango, Mangifera indica has a list of helpful resources about this species.Color/Appearance: Because of the spalting that is commonly present, the wood can be a kaleidoscope of colors.Mango at the Wikibooks Cookbook subproject.

The tree grows best in well-drained sandy loam it does not grow well in heavy wet soils. Since their domestication in southeastern Asia, mangoes have been introduced to other warm regions of the world. The species was first described by Linnaeus in 1753. M. indica were domesticated separately in South Asia and Southeast Asia over centuries, resulting in two distinct genetic populations in modern mangoes – the 'Indian type' and the 'Southeast Asian type'. Mangoes are believed to have originated from the region between northwestern Myanmar, Bangladesh, and northeastern India. Allergenic urushiols are present in the fruit peel.

Mangiferin (a pharmacologically active hydroxylated xanthone C-glycoside) is extracted from mango at high concentrations from the young leaves (172 g/kg), bark (107 g/kg), and from old leaves (94 g/kg).

The skin and pulp account for 85% of the mango's weight, and the remaining 15% comes from the stone (seed). Ripe mangos are a popular fruit throughout the world. Raw mangos can be used in the making of pickles and chutneys. The interior flesh is bright orange and soft with a large, flat pit in the middle. Mango fruits are green when they are unripe. The fruits can be round, oval, heart, or kidney shaped. Mangos are typically 8–12 centimetres (3–5 inches) long and greenish yellow in color. The mango is an irregular, egg-shaped fruit which is a fleshy drupe. The Neelum variety produces two crops a year in Kanyakumari, Tamil Nadu, but it flowers only once in North Indian conditions. The duration of flowering is 20–25 days for the Dasheri variety, while panicle emergence occurs in early December and flower opening is completed by February. In South Asia, flowering starts in December in the south, in January in Bihar and Bengal, in February in eastern Uttar Pradesh, and in February–March in northern India. Climatic conditions have a significant influence on the time of flowering. Both male and female flowers are borne on same tree. Red-yellow flowers appear at the end of winter, and also at the beginning of spring. The leaves are simple, shiny and dark green. It can grow up to 15–30 metres (50–100 feet) tall with a similar crown width and a trunk circumference of more than 3.7 m (12 ft). Approximately 500 varieties have been reported in India. It is a large green tree, valued mainly for its fruits, both green and ripe.
