<p><i>Mangifera caesia</i> is restricted to the wet tropical lowlands, generally below elevations of 400 metres and rarely up to 800 metres. It naturally grows in primary or swamp forests and along riverbanks. When it is planted, Binjai is commonly cultivated on periodically inundated riverbanks. Trees usually bloom profusely and can produce thousands of fruits. The fruit ripens 3 months after pollination. </p>
