The Mango Tree is a tropical fruit tree from the Ginger Island part of the game. Its sapling is traded for or found on the island. Planted on Ginger Island or in the Greenhouse, the tree gives a Mango every day of the year, while in the valley it fruits only in Summer. Leo loves Mangoes, and he teaches the Mango Sticky Rice recipe once he is a close friend. Mangoes also buy a rare photo from the Island Trader and make a valuable wine.

Growing

The Island Trader on Ginger Island sells the Mango Sapling in exchange for Mussels. Cracking open a Golden Coconut can also give a Mango Sapling. Clint at the Blacksmith cracks Golden Coconuts open. The sapling is also a rare find in the Volcano Dungeon.

The sapling goes into plain ground. The eight surrounding tiles need to stay free of objects, paths and flooring while the Mango Sapling grows. Two fruit trees cannot share that space, so each needs at least two empty tiles between it and the next one. If something blocks the space, the sapling does not grow that night.

The sapling passes through four stages and is fully grown after four weeks, like every other fruit tree. It grows in any season.

The place it grows decides how much it gives. On the Ginger Island farm, a grown Mango Tree fruits every day all year. In the Greenhouse it does the same. Outside on the main farm, it fruits only in Summer. Most Mango Trees therefore belong on the island or in the Greenhouse.

Once the tree is fully grown, the space around it is free to use. Paths and other objects can then go right beside it.

The Mangoes improve with the tree's age. One year after maturing, the tree gives silver-quality fruit. After two years it gives gold, and after three years every Mango is iridium.

A fruit tree cannot be picked up and moved. Chopping it down with an Axe gives wood and a Mango Sapling of the same quality as its fruit. A higher-quality sapling grows to full size faster when replanted.

Lightning can strike a fruit tree during a storm. A struck tree gives Coal instead of fruit for four days, then recovers by itself.

Fruit

A Mango sells for less than a Banana but more than an Apple or an Orange. It also restores more energy and health when eaten than the fruit of any valley tree. A tree on Ginger Island gives one every day without a break, which adds up quickly over a year.

A Keg turns each Mango into Mango Wine, worth three times the raw fruit. A Preserves Jar makes Mango Jelly, which is ready much sooner but is worth less. The Artisan profession adds forty percent to both. Kegs and Preserves Jars ignore fruit quality, so normal-quality Mangoes are the best ones to process.

Leo loves Mangoes. A Mango a week is an easy way to raise his friendship.

At seven hearts with Leo, he mails the recipe for Mango Sticky Rice. Cooking a Mango with a Coconut and Rice makes the dish.

On Thursdays, the Island Trader swaps a 'Volcano' Photo for a few Mangoes. A tree on the island has those Mangoes ready in a few days.

Notes

Plant the first Mango Sapling on Ginger Island or in the Greenhouse. There it fruits every day of the year instead of only in Summer.

Keep a few Mangoes in a chest for Leo. They are among his favourite gifts, and the tree gives a steady supply.
