A mango is a tropical fruit that originated in Southeast Asia. Food historians believe the mango has been cultivated for over 4,000 years in the areas in which it was initially found. It is now grown in most countries with tropical or near tropical climates. There are over 100 different types of mangoes, but most popularly known in the US are those species imported from Mexico and South America.
The mango fruit is a drupe, like nectarines and apricots, a fleshy fruit growing around a long flat seed. The fruits have an average length of five inches (12.7 cm) and weigh an average of one pound (approximate .5 kg). The ripened skin may be primarily yellow, or may be multi-hued with orange and red tones.
The mango tree is quite large. The largest can grow to be 65 feet (19.81 m) tall. Those trees in less than ideal climates may only achieve a third of that height when fully grown. The fruit was introduced to Southern California in the late 19th century, and with occasional frosts, the mature trees there are usually no more than 20 feet (6.09 m) tall.
