The mango plant, scientifically known as Mangifera indica, is a large, evergreen tree with a dense, spreading crown. It is native to India and is characterized by its long, slender, and glossy leaves that are often a reddish or pinkish color when young, maturing to a dark green. The tree can grow up to 10-40 meters tall and has a stout trunk with greyish-brown, fissured bark. Mangoes are known for their fleshy, fibrous fruits which vary in shape, size, and color depending on the variety. 

Here's a more detailed description:

Size and Shape:

Mango trees are typically large and spreading, with a dense crown. Mature trees can reach heights of 30-40 meters, with a trunk diameter of 60-120 cm. 

Bark:

The bark is greyish-brown and fissured, becoming rougher and scaly with age. 

Leaves:

Mango leaves are simple, alternate, and leathery, typically oblong-lanceolate in shape. Young leaves are often reddish-pink or copper-colored, gradually turning dark green as they mature. 

Flowers:

Mango trees produce small, greenish-white or pinkish flowers in terminal panicles. 

Fruit:

The mango fruit is a fleshy drupe, varying in shape, size, and color depending on the cultivar. Common shapes include oval, round, kidney-shaped, or heart-shaped. The skin can be green, yellow, red, or a combination of these colors. The flesh is usually yellow-orange and surrounds a large seed. 

Roots:

Mango trees have a deep taproot system with wide-spreading feeder roots.

Mangoes thrive in tropical and subtropical climates. They prefer well-drained soil with a pH between 5.5 and 7.5.
