A digital photograph depicts a young mango seedling (Mangifera indica) approximately 30-40 centimeters in height, rooted in rocky, brown soil within Jos, Nigeria. The plant, centrally positioned, exhibits numerous elliptical-lanceolate leaves. The majority of the leaves are medium to dark green, with newer growth, particularly at the top and on some lower branches, displaying a distinct reddish-brown or bronze coloration. Fine venation is visible across the leaf surfaces. The seedling emerges from a ground composed of fragmented, irregular grey and brown rocks, interspersed with dry earth, suggesting a semi-arid or disturbed environment. In the background, partially out of focus, sparse, lighter green vegetation is discernible, along with additional grey, angular stone or concrete elements. The scene is illuminated by natural daylight, indicating an outdoor setting. No human figures, animals, or active subjects are present.
