Summary
Mangifera caesia, commonly known as Jack Mango or White Mango, is a large evergreen tree native to the rainforests of Southeast Asia, including Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand. It typically grows up to 98 feet (30 meters) tall with a dense, broad crown. The tree is notable for its large, elliptical, yellow-white fruits that emit a strong odor and have a sour taste. The flowering season occurs from April to May, with the fruits maturing around three to four months after flowering. The flowers are small and not particularly showy, but the fruits are quite distinctive and can be considered ornamental.
White Mango is valued for its fruit, which is consumed fresh, preserved, or cooked. The wood is utilized for light construction due to its workability. In cultivation, Mangifera caesia requires a tropical climate with high humidity and consistent moisture. It prefers full sun and well-drained soils, although it can tolerate temporary flooding in its native habitat. Gardeners should be aware that the sap of this tree can cause skin irritation, and care should be taken when handling the fruit or pruning the tree. Due to its large size, it is best suited for spacious gardens or parks.CC BY-SA 4.0
