Last Updated: 2024/11/22, Mangosteen is also known as Mangji persimmon, mangosteen, mangosteen, inverted twister, Phoenix fruit.

Mangosteen is also known as Mangji persimmon, mangosteen, mangosteen, inverted twister, Phoenix fruit. It can not only refer to the plant mangosteen, a species under the family hypericaceae, but also refer to the fruit of this plant, mangosteen, formerly known as mangosteen, originated in Southeast Asia, generally planted for 10 years before it begins to bear fruit, and has very strict requirements on the environment, so it is a veritable green fruit, as famous as durian, known as "queen of fruit".

Growth habit

The seeds of mangosteen are unisexual, so the reproduction of mangosteen is asexual. Soil and moisture require mangosteen to have wide adaptability to soil, and mangosteen planted on trees requires good drainage conditions. compared with clay, mangosteen prefers sandy soil with rich organic matter and ph value of 5muri 6.5. Mangosteen grows luxuriantly in the tropical rain forest with annual rainfall of 2000-2500mm. The best growing conditions are warm, humid, and no rainy season. Disease and insect pest female yellow disease can cause yellow exudate from branches and trunks, and if the bark is damaged, the fruit will become bitter. After harvesting mangosteen, it began to bear fruit in 7-12 years. Grafted, 6 years bearing fruit.

The life span of mangosteen is as long as 70 years, but its growth is slow. it takes seven or eight years from cultivation to fruit. the fruit ripening period is from May to October, and the yield is higher from August to October. The mangosteen tree is 10 meters tall, with long oval leaves, thickly leathery leaves, apex acuminate, entire; flowers about 5 cm in diameter, 4 sepals, 4 petals, fleshy pink; fruit globose, 6 color 8 cm in diameter, deep purplish red shell thick and tough, containing tannins, can be used as medicine; there are 4 large hard and involute leathery sepals on the stalk, with star-shaped patterns at the top, and 4 colors with 8 petals.

Mangosteen trees can grow to a height of 25 meters, with a round or conical crown, dark brown bark and yellow sap, which takes at least 5-6 years to bear fruit, while most take 8 mi 10 years. Leaves opposite, 8ml 15cm long, evergreen thick leaves, glossy leather texture. Flowers 2.5 mi 5 cm in diam., male or bisexual, bisexual peanuts at front of twigs, 1 or 2. Sepals and petals 4, fleshy yellow mixed with red and light pink. There are many stamens and one pistil in a flower, and the stigma is 4-color and 8-lobed.

When the mangosteen fruit is ripe, the fruit is spherical with a diameter of 4mi 8cm, the surface is smooth, and the stigma of the fleshy sepals and exocarp inner layer remains. The pericarp is so thick and hard that it can only be cut with a knife. Its pericarp is black-purple or pink, very thick, bitter, generally not edible; flesh is white, petal-shaped, looks like garlic cloves, edible, rich taste, cool and sweet, soft taste, texture.

Mangosteen needs to grow in an environment above 4 °C, otherwise the plant will not survive.

Planting technology

The seeds of mangosteen are unisexual, so the reproduction of mangosteen is asexual.

After harvesting mangosteen, it began to bear fruit in 7-12 years. Grafted, 6 years bearing fruit.

The skin of mangosteen begins to turn red, indicating that it is beginning to mature. It is the harvest season when the skin changes from pink to black. The yield of each tree starts from 60 fruits to 1800 fruits over 22 years old.

Disease and insect pest female yellow disease can cause yellow exudate from branches and trunks, such as damage to false bark, which can lead to bitter fruit.
