Mango wood products are made from the same trees that produce the popular tropical mango fruit. When a mango tree reaches 20 to 30 years of age, the fruits are no longer suitable for commercial use. These older trees are harvested and replaced with young trees in a process that maintains the mango forests, provides indefinite fruit, and sustains a continual supply of the very best wood for the craftsmen that produce mango wood products.
Mango wood is a beautiful light-colored wood with touches of gray and brown grain providing very nice grain patterns. The mango tree is indigenous to Pakistan, Bangladesh, India, and Southeast Asia.
The Mango tree is actually an evergreen, and its leaves make superior mulch.
