Mango (Mangifera Indica)

Mangifera Indica

Mangifera indica commonly known as the Mango tree. This is an evergreen tree gorwing 50 to 100 feet tall.The trunk can vary in diameter, usually ranging from 12 to 36 inches. The Mango tree is more known for its fruit rather than for its timber. However, mango trees can be converted to lumber once their fruit-bearing lifespan has finished. The wood is susceptible to damage from fungi and insects. The wood is used for musical instruments such as ukuleles, plywood and low-cost furniture. At Palm Garden Nevis it can be found at Event Area 3.
