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.

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.

The '''Jack''' (''Mangifera caesia''), locally called '''Binjai''' in the [[Malay language]], is a species of [[mango]] found 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 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 long and 6-8 cm 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. Although its name suggests that it is the [[jackfruit]], this actually is a completely different plant altogether.

The Binjai is believed to originate from the island of [[Borneo]], but is commonly grown elsewhere for its edible fruit. The tree is one of the most common and valuable mango species in western Malaysia, where it is cultivated extensively in orchards. It is also widely grown in [[Bali]], [[Sumatra]], and [[Borneo]]. The fruit can be eaten dipped in [[chili]] and dark [[soy sauce]]. The wood is used for light construction. Binjai is almost always [[plant propagation|propagated]] by seed. The tree requires rainfall that is distributed evenly throughout the year. It is a possible candidate for wider cultivation in the future. The fruit is very rare and worth thousands of dollars in the Indian market

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 leaves. The flowers are purple or pink, 0.7 cm long with five sepals. 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.

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.
