Tree growth and felling
Mango trees grow well in tropical and subtropical climates with humid, hot summers and cool, dry, frost-free winters. A mango tree grows quite quickly. In this short period the tree can grow up to 40 meters high. The trunk can grow to a circumference of 3 to 5 meters. Fruit production is good in this first period. As the tree ages, fruit production also declines. That is why this tree on the mango plantations is becoming less valuable economically. The solution for mango farmers is then: cut down and replant. This way of working makes the wood of the mango tree sustainable. Forests are not simply cut down. After its life as a food producer, the wood gets a second life as furniture.
