The ''Jack fruit tree'' or ''Malaysian Mango'' (''Mangifera caesia''), is a species of [[mango]] widely cultivated in areas of [[Malaysia]], [[Indonesia]], [[Singapore]], [[Brunei]], [[Papua New Guinea]], and the [[Philippines]]. The tree lives in lowlands or gentle slopes on sandy clay soils. It grows up to 30 m (100 ft) tall with a dense crown of round-shaped [[leaf|leaves]]. The [[flower]]s are purple or pink, 0.7 cm long with five [[sepal]]s. The [[fruit]] is a large, edible, elliptical [[drupe]] 10-15 cm (4-6 in) long and 6-8 cm (2-3 in) wide. The skin is thin and brown with darker patches, and the flesh is yellow-white, mushy, and strongly odorous with an acid-sweet or sour taste. It is believed to originate from the island of [[Borneo]], but is commonly grown elsewhere for its edible fruit. The tree requires rainfall that is distributed evenly throughout the year. {{Inc| Mangifera verticillata, Rob. Bauno. A large tree, 50 ft. or more in height: lvs. in whorls of 4, narrowly elliptic- obovate to obovate, glabrous, about 4-6 in. long, 2-3 in. broad; petiole 1-1 ½ in- long: panicles 8-12 in. long, tomentose; fls. on stout, tomentose pedicels; petals narrowly oblanceolate, bluish, margins inrolled; fertile stamen 1, staminodes 4, irregularly shaped: fr. oblong-oval to pyriform, 4 ½ -6 in. long, yellowish green; stone large, very fibrous.—A recently described species from the southern Philippines. Its fr., which ripens in Aug. and Sept. is described by Wester as "very juicy, rich, subacid, quite aromatic, of excellent flavor, partaking of the flavor of the apricot and soursop combined." It is thought to be of considerable horticultural value. }} {{Inc| Mangifera caesia, Jack. Binjai. A large, stately tree, with stout branchlets: lvs. cuneate-obovate to elliptic, 6 -16 in. long, 2 ½ -3 ½ in. broad, somewhat glabrous; petiole ¼ -l in. long: panicle stout, much branched; fls. on short, stout pedicels; sepals broadly ovate, pubescent; petals erect, linear, concave, purplish; disk slightly lobed; perfect stamen 1, the imperfect ones reduced to teeth; style slender: fr. oblong-obovate. Malacca and other Malayan islands.—The frs. are eaten by the natives, but are said to be very poor. }} ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== It is almost always [[plant propagation|propagated]] by seed. ===Pests and diseases=== ==Varieties== ==Gallery== <gallery perrow=5> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== <references/> *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
