Mango

The mango comes originally from the Indo-Birman area, probably cultivated by man for more than 4000 years. India, where wild mango forests still grow today, is still the main growing area of ​​this plant. Mangoes have spread to almost all tropical areas: South and Southeast Asia, Australia, Madagascar, East Africa, Brazil, and Central America. It also grows in subtropical areas of favourable climate like Florida, South Africa, Israel, Cyprus and Egypt.
