Mango trees typically grow to be between 10 and 33 feet (3 to 10 meters) tall when cultivated. However, wild mango trees can reach much greater heights.
Here's a breakdown:
-
Cultivated Mango Trees: Most commercially grown mango trees are pruned to stay within a manageable size for harvesting and maintenance. This usually results in a height of 10-33 feet (3-10 meters). The specific height depends on the mango variety and pruning practices.
-
Wild Mango Trees: Uncultivated mango trees, particularly those grown from seedlings in favorable climates, can grow much taller. They often reach heights of around 50 feet (15 meters).
-
Mango Trees in Forest Environments: In dense forest settings, mango trees may compete for sunlight and reach impressive heights of up to 100 feet (30 meters).
In summary, while the average cultivated mango tree is kept between 10 and 33 feet tall, wild and forest-grown mango trees can be significantly taller, reaching up to 100 feet in some cases.
