Mango (Mangifera)
Mango Genus Details
Mangos are grown in Florida and California in the U.S., but they are native to the East Indies. Mangos are evergreen, with new foliage that is first reddish, then dark green. When mango leaves are crushed they smell like turpentine. Large yellow flowers, which appear from December to April, are followed by red and yellow fruits. Each fruit has a single seed. Mangos are relatives of poison ivy and sumac.
