Field Notes

Description:

The mangifera indica is a perennial tree, meaning that it can live for more than two years. It has medium foliage that is green in color, and the leaves are a falcate. The fruit it grows is orange when ripe, and the seed inside is planted in order to grow another tree. The main use for the mango tree are the sweet, edible fruit. I found this tree in my backyard in the grass. The mango tree that I found was not fully grown, and so itʻs leaves were about 7 inches long and the trunk about 4 inches wide. There were no visible flowers to me.

Habitat:

Kaimukī Avenue, Honolulu.

Notes:

This plant is an alien species to Hawaiʻi. It is native to India.
