Mangosteen is a veritable green fruit, which requires high growth environment. Together with durian, it is known as the queen of fruit. Mangosteen seeds are parthenogenetic, so Mangosteen belongs to asexual reproduction, and grafting is generally chosen.
Where does mangosteen grow?
Mangosteen grows on the trunk of mangosteen. Mangosteen is a small tree with a height of 12 to 20 meters. It is branched and dense, and likes warm and humid environment. When it grows rapidly, it needs more water.
When the temperature is lower than 5 degrees or higher than 40 degrees for a long time, it will lead to the death of plants. At present, only Guangdong, Fujian, Taiwan Province, Yunnan and other southern regions in China have introduced and tried planting, originating from Southeast Asia, Thailand, Malaysia, Myanmar and the Philippines.
What does mangosteen look like?
The mangosteen shell is green at the beginning, and when it turns purple, it means it is mature. The pulp is white, tender and smooth, and the taste is sweet and sour, which is very delicious. It is a unique fruit, because the shell is hard and it is not easy to damage the pulp, and the life span of the fruit tree is over 70 years.
Mangosteen growth process
It takes seven to twelve years for mangosteen to bear fruit naturally, and it takes six years for mangosteen grafting, which is widely used at present. Mangosteen's fruit ripens from May to October, and its yield is higher from August to October. It is a typical tropical rain forest fruit tree.
