Mangosteen trees have a long life span and can be planted for about 70 years, but they grow slowly and generally take 7-8 years to bear fruit.

Mangosteen planting method:
1, hole opening and base fertilizer application: the planting hole needs to be dug in advance 1 month, and the size of the planting hole is generally 60cm×60cm×60cm. The top soil and bottom soil of the cave soil are placed separately. Apply 15kg of decomposed organic fertilizer, 0.5kg of calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer and 0.4kg of organic nutrient fertilizer Jiamei bonus to each planting hole.
When applying base fertilizer, the topsoil is first filled into the hole, and then the organic fertilizer, calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer, Jiamei bonus and the bottom hole soil are evenly mixed to form fertile soil for later use. The planting time is usually 5- 1 1 month, and it is better in cloudy afternoon to avoid mangosteen seedlings from being burned by sunlight.
2, shading: Mangosteen seedlings need weak light conditions for growth, otherwise it is easy to sunburn branches and leaves, so it is necessary to effectively shade the seedlings. Piling around mangosteen, using wooden sticks, bamboo poles or PVC pipes as support materials, and then fixing it on a square support with a shading net with 90% light transmittance (shading degree) to form a square sunshade to block the sun.
3. Covering the root zone: Covering the root zone of mangosteen seedlings after planting can improve the survival rate. Iron dustpan grown in the park can be used to cover the root zone, which can not only effectively keep the root zone soil moist, but also increase the soil organic matter in the root zone and inhibit the growth of weeds. Generally, the cover is kept within 30cm from the trunk outward to the crown drip line. Root zone mulching is practical and effective to ensure the robust growth of mangosteen.
