Mangos are produced on evergreen trees that may attain great size unless restricted by pruning. The fruit is flattened and generally kidney shaped and may reach 7 to 8 inches in length. Each fruit contains one large flattened seed. The edible pulp surrounding the seed is fibrous and varies greatly in flavor. The best varieties are low in fiber and rich in flavor, somewhat resembling peach.
Fruits hang on long stems.
The skin is smooth. This is a major fruit in all tropical countries.
