Do not burn mango wood. It emits toxic fumes that can cause severe irritation to the eyes and lungs.

Mango wood is derived from the evergreen mango tree (Mangifera Indica), which is native to the Indian subcontinent. It grows in tropical and subtropical climate and can be particularly found in India, and other countries including Mexico and Brazil. The tree grows up to 60 to 100 feet in height with the trunk size around 5 feet in diameter. This makes it an eligible candidate for harvesting timber.

The mango tree is primarily planted for its succulent, juicy fruits. However, as the tree ages, it stops bearing fruit. At this stage, the old tree is cut down, and a new tree is planted in its place. The wood thus obtained, is used for making furniture and decorative home accessories.
