and sweet taste. Mostly eaten fresh, they are

found their way into an enormous range of processed
foods and drinks Mango trees can grow
up to 40 m high which presents a problem

Mango trees are topped with a rounded

100 years. They are usually improved by grafting
onto the rootstocks of smaller trees so that
they can't grow as tall. Some varieties which
