I purchased this tree today from somebody and they told me it was a mango tree, but the leaves look different to me? is this indeed a mango tree? if not, then what is it? any help would be great.

Definitely not mango.

Carrot wood or longan maybe? Hard to tell

carrotwood. 100% not mango

I’m pretty sure it’s what we call a Tuckeroo in Australia.

Like someone else said those are carrotwood. It's related to longan/lychee/ackee

There you go! I’ve learned something new today. Our Tuckeroo is the same as your Carrotwood. Didn’t know you could eat the fruit🤔🤔👍. Native to Australia apparently.

About as edible as dirt

That’s what I thought! Nice shade tree though. And super tough!

Lol. I agree that it looks like a carrotwood. That was the first tree I cut down when I bought my house. It's very invasive and you should not plant it.

I had never heard of it and googled it. Seems it's banned, on the Florida Invasive Weeds list.

Is the flavor more carrot or wood-dominant? XD
