The tree is a fine, bold presence of the warm orchard and the large garden. It is a tree of the open, sunny, deep, well-drained ground.
Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology
The mango is a rich, fruitful subject of the plant science, and the golden fruits keep showing up in the work on the tropical fruit trees. The breeding of the mangoes for the flavour and the disease resistance has been studied at length, and it keeps appearing in the studies of the tropical fruit genetics, the stone-fruit breeding and the members of the cashew family. The dense crown of the glossy leaves and the big, branched panicles have also made it a fine orchard tree, and the mango is a regular subject of the work on the great fruits of the warm world.

To grow the mango from seed, sow the large, flat seeds a little under the surface of a pot of damp, free-draining soil, keep the pot in a warm, bright spot and water gently. The seedlings show themselves within a few weeks and grow on steadily. With the sun, the warmth and the deep, well-drained ground, the golden fruits will come through the warm season.
