Mangosteen

Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana)

From Southeast Asia

Best Growing Conditions:

• Thrives in high humidity. Prefers rich, well-draining soil and partial shade when
  young. Sensitive to cold.

Characteristics:

• Produces small, round fruits with thick purple rinds and sweet, tangy white
  flesh. Known as the “queen of fruits.”
• Time to First Harvest: Typically 6–12 years from seed.
• Mature Height: Grows up to 20–80 feet.

Base Factors to Consider:

• Mangosteen is highly prized and notoriously slow-growing, requiring patience
  and long-term planning.
• Rare in cultivation due to its long juvenile period and cold sensitivity.
• Excellent choice for collectors, specialty orchards, or tropical reforestation projects.
