Buchanania mangoides is a small tree growing up to 13 m (43 ft) tall, with a trunk less than 30 cm (12 in) diameter. The leaves are similar to those of the mango - they are oblong to obovate and may reach 40 cm (16 in) in length and 7 cm (2.8 in) wide, with up to 25 pairs of lateral veins on either side of the midrib.
Mangifera indica is a large green tree, valued mainly for its fruits, both green and ripe. [4] Approximately 500-1000 varieties have been identified, named, or reported, primarily in India. [4] It can grow up to 15–30 metres (50–100 feet) tall [6] with a similar crown width and a trunk circumference of more than 3.7 m (12 ft).
Mangifera zeylanica is a large, stately, slow growing, evergreen tree that can grow up to 35 meter tall. The trunk is straight, up to 90 cm in diameter, and is free of buttresses. Bark in older trees is rough, deeply fissured, with strips 2–3 cm wide, and dark to light brown. The inner bark is orange brown.
The tree is noted for its small growth habit, [7] due to having considerably shorter internodes compared to other mango trees. Trees can grow over 20 feet if allowed to do so, but are often kept well under 10 feet in height with regular pruning.
Buchanania arborescens, commonly known as the little gooseberry tree [3] or sparrow's mango, [1] is a small and slender tree native to seasonal tropical forests of northern Australia, Southeast Asia, and the Solomon Islands. The leaves are spirally arranged, smooth, leathery, elongated oblong, 5–26 cm long.
They started growing Hatcher mangoes on the nearly 3.5 acres of land, and they sold trees to people who wanted the new and improved mangoes in their own backyards.
The tree began fruiting in the 1940s and was found to have enough potential to be propagated during the 1950s, and by 1955 the Flagg Brothers Nursery had sold several hundred trees. That same year Van Dyke was submitted to the Florida Mango Forum for evaluation.
This means it is the main mango sold in regions where mangoes have to be imported, comprising about 80% of mangoes sold in the United Kingdom and United States [dubious – discuss], apart from growing regions in California, [3] Hawaii, Florida and Jamaica. However, in France it is sold at a discount, while the main imported cultivar is Kent. [4]
