1, mangosteen grows slowly. It takes about 7-8 years to grow from a small sapling to a big tree that can bear fruit. Compared with other fruit trees that can bear fruit in two or three years, the time cost of mangosteen is much higher than those that can bear fruit in a short time.

2. The picking cost is high. Generally, mangosteen trees with fruits can grow to more than 10 meters, and the highest can reach 25 meters. Mangosteen can't be beaten with one stick. First, it will destroy the mangosteen shell. Second, if you fall from a tree over 10 meters, it will be easily broken, so you can only pick it manually, either climb directly to the tree to pick it, or tie the tools to a bamboo pole and unscrew them one by one.
