Sure it is. When they're REALLY growing, mature mango trees can develop an INCREDIBLE flame red, it's as if the tree's tops are on fire!
The explanation for the red is due to the presence of anthocyanins in the leaf, which is the pigment that gives rise to red, blues and purple. Many plants produce anthocyanins, particularly on thenew leaves, so as to protect it from harsh light. Think sun stress, but as a baby insurance kind of thing. In fact, aquatic plants produce lots of anthocyanins, like Rotala, Ludwigia and Alternanthera, especially in a high co2, high light and low nitrogen environment
