The mango tree, particularly widespread in the Indian subcontinent and in general throughout the tropical area with a warm and temperate climate, is known and appreciated for its sweet and juicy fruits but for a long time now also for its strong, durable wood and malleable. One of its characteristics that makes it a particularly interesting and current wood today is its sustainability as it is harvested only at the end of the plant's production cycle.
The Mangifera Indica is an evergreen tree that can reach 20/25 meters in height within a few years; it is precisely this rapid growth that has made the use of solid mango wood an eco-sustainable choice. In fact, the plant reaches its maturity in about 10 years, when the woody part begins to develop, making flowering increasingly negligible, with a consequent decrease in fruit production. This, within the plantations, is the moment for replacing old trees with young and productive trees; while in the past the older trees were cut down and burned, today, when its exceptional properties have been discovered, it is used more and more.
Mango wood is characterized by dense grains, is very resistant and durable over time as well as malleable and therefore perfect for use in furniture and interior decoration in general. Its incredible malleability favors its use in all the most elaborate processes.
Mango wood fears direct exposure to the sun's rays and more generally dry climates; for optimal conservation of furnishings and accessories made with this type of wood, we recommend treatment with specific oils or waxes at least once a year to avoid the natural dehydration process.
