A mango is an edible stone fruit produced by the tropical tree Mangifera indica. It is believed to have originated between northwestern Myanmar, Bangladesh, and northeastern India.

Worldwide, there are several hundred cultivars of mango. Depending on the cultivar, mango fruit varies in size, shape, sweetness, skin color, and flesh color, which may be pale yellow, gold, green, or orange. The trees are long-lived, as some specimens still fruit after 300 years. Over 500 varieties of mangoes are known, many of which ripen in summer, while some give a double crop.

The ripe fruit varies according to cultivar in size, shape, color, sweetness, and eating quality. Depending on the cultivar, fruits are variously yellow, orange, red, or green. Ripe intact mangoes give off a distinctive resinous, sweet smell. Mangoes have recalcitrant seeds which do not survive freezing and drying.
