Bouea macrophylla
Bouea macrophylla, commonly known as gandaria, Burmese plum, Marian plum, plum mango, mango plum or maprang in English, is a species of flowering plant native to Southeast Asia. The tree belongs to the family Anacardiaceae which also includes mango and cashew.
The tree and its fruit are commonly confused with the closely related Bouea oppositifolia, both of which show considerable morphological variation. B. macrophylla has long lanceolate leaves and round yellow fruit, while B. oppositifolia has shorter oblong leaves and oval red/yellow fruit.
The evergreen tree grows to heights of 25 meters. Its leaves are lanceolate to elliptic in shape (see: Leaf shape), and range from 13 to 45 cm (5 to 17 inches) long and from 5 to 7 cm (2 to 3 inches) wide.[citation needed]
The unripe fruit (resembling a mango) is green in colour and matures to an orange/yellow, with the seed being pink. Fruits grow to roughly 2 to 5 cm (0.7 to 1.9 inches) in diameter. The entire fruit, including its skin is edible. The fruit range from sweet to sour in flavor similar to the Alphonso mango, and have a light smell of turpentine. When ripe, the fruit is soft and has fibrous mango-like seeds that have a noticeable purple color.[citation needed]
Flowering and fruiting times differ for Thailand and Indonesia. In Thailand, it typically flowers in November to December, and fruit appears from April to May. While in Indonesia, it flowers in June to November, and fruit appears from March to June. However, in some regions in Indonesia, the fruiting season starts at the beginning of the rainy season.
Bouea macrophylla can take 10-15 years from planting time to harvest, with a productive life of over 30 years. Propagation is done by seed only.
The tree is native to Indonesia, and Burma. It is also found in Thailand, Laos, and Malaysia, where it is commercially grown. It can also be found in the northern parts of Pakistan (such as Murree and Nathia Gali).[citation needed]
In Indonesia, the main areas of production are in wet, humid areas in North Sumatra and West Java.
