Mangosteen grows on trees, its origin is Malugu, and it has been planted in Fujian, Guangdong and other places. Its life span is 70 years, but its growth is slow. Mastering reasonable cultivation techniques can improve the yield to a certain extent. The specific methods are as follows:

Garden soil: it can be planted on the hillside, gentle slope and flat land, and the soil should be fertile and deep.

Planting: Prune the seedlings properly before planting, and backfill the fertile soil after planting.

Temperature: it is best to be between 25~35℃ and try not to be lower than 20℃.

1. Where does Mangosteen grow?

Mangosteen grows on trees, and the height of the trees is usually 12-20m. Mangosteen trees have many branches and are dense, with purple fruits and smooth appearance. Mangosteen originated in Malugu, which is widely planted in tropical areas of Asia and Africa, and has been introduced or planted in China, such as Fujian, Taiwan Province, Yunnan and Guangdong. Its life span is very long, usually about 70 years, but its growth is very slow. It takes 7-8 years from the beginning of planting to the beginning of fruiting. The fruiting period is10-1February, and the highest yield is1-1February.

Second, the cultivation techniques of mangosteen

Garden: If mangosteen is planted, it is usually planted on the hillside, gentle slope and flat land with a slope less than 20. If it is planted in the garden, it is best to concentrate on contiguous areas, which is more convenient for management. Moreover, the soil layer should be deep and fertile, the ph value of the soil should be between 5 and 6, and the most important thing is to facilitate drainage.

Planting: Seedlings and grafted seedlings can be used for planting. Before planting, the diseased branches and weak branches on the seedlings should be cut off, and the dense leaves should be properly trimmed to avoid increasing the evaporation of water. When planting, first fill the mixed rich soil into the planting hole, plant the treated seedlings, backfill the rich soil and water the roots once.

Temperature: Mangosteen is a tropical rain forest fruit tree, which grows vigorously in the environment of 25~35℃, and the humidity is about 80%. If the temperature is between 20℃ and 25℃, it can also meet its normal needs. If the temperature is lower than 20℃, the growth of mangosteen will be hindered, and if it is lower than 5℃, mangosteen trees will die. On the contrary, the temperature should not be too high, and the curing temperature should be below 40℃.
