Sparrow’s mango
Buchanania arborescens
Sparrow's mango is a tropical tree best suited to warm, humid climates and performs well in partial shade, making it suitable for mixed canopy gardens. Water regularly during establishment but reduce frequency once mature, as it has moderate drought tolerance once established. This slow-to-fruit tree requires patience but rewards growers with small, sweet edible fruits enjoyed by birds and wildlife.
