The mango tree was chosen for submission to this competition. So I thought of presenting some information about the mango tree. Ok friends so let's share some thoughts about mango tree. The mango tree is a tropical fruit tree belonging to the Anacardiaceae family. It is known as a native of South Asia but is now widely cultivated in tropical regions around the world. The plants of the cultivated varieties of this mango fruit are very small. Various strategies have been used to keep the plants from growing taller.
Also, the plants are usually 30 to 40 feet tall, either naturally occurring in homes or elsewhere, or by an animal such as bats or birds. Generally, this mango tree can grow up to 100 feet.

I used very few materials to draw this painting related to my post. Today I will share with you what I have learned about the mango tree. Sharing some knowledge with another is a very noble act. It will make me happy if you have gathered something new or renewed an old memory through my post today.
Below I will mention some of the ingredients used for painting the mango tree. |

Mango trees are a long-lived plant. A normally healthy and well-nourished plant can live for a minimum of 100 years or a maximum of over a hundred years. The mango plant has dark green elongated broad leaves that provide shade. Their flowers are small and white and cream in color with a hint of yellow. Mango fruit, known as the fruit of the mango tree, is usually oval or oblong in shape and is a fairly large fruit with a soft and fleshy interior. The rind of the mango fruit is a slightly rough skin that ranges in color from green to yellow and red.
Here, unripe mangoes are always green and ripe mangoes are yellow and red. Also, some mango species turn light red when raw. (For example, the most popular and sweet-tasting Willard mango, which is widely eaten in Sri Lanka, has a light red outer skin. In these, the color of the bark does not change even after ripening.) |

Mangoes are known for their sweet juicy and aromatic flesh. They can be eaten fresh and used in a variety of dishes such as smoothies, salads, chutneys and desserts. Mangoes are also rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, making them a healthy addition to any diet. There are many varieties of mangoes in different shapes, sizes, colors and flavors.

Your drawing is really beautiful. How did you learn to draw like this? It is a very good possibility. It can be seen from the picture that it is a mango tree. I loved it too. You have used some good answers to the competition questions with drawing. I look forward to seeing more of your drawings.
I really enjoy being complimented on my drawing skills. But I am not very good at drawing my friend. I was not very good at drawing as a child. Even now I am not very capable. But I am very happy to see your praise
