What happens when mangosteen is planted in sunny places? The difference between the leaves of mangosteen and Masters mangosteen

There is no officially certified variety of mangosteen at present. It is said that only a few varieties are known. For example, in Sulu Islands, the fruit is larger, the pericarp is thicker than normal, and the pulp flavor is sour. How to grow mangosteen?

Climate and soil

Mangosteen is a low-altitude humid tropical forest, the equatorial climate is high and uniform temperature and high humidity, is an ideal cultivation climate. The most suitable temperature range is from 20 ℃ to 33 ℃. Mangosteen trees with temperatures below 5 °C may die, especially young trees, where growth slows significantly below 20 ℃, leaves burn and scorch when the temperature is higher than 35 ℃, and sturdy adults can tolerate a wider range of temperatures.

Mangosteen can adapt to a wide range of characteristics of the soil, need to have a good water retention capacity, like the groundwater level is high (1.5 meters-2 meters). However, it can not tolerate waterlogging areas, within the range of soil pH value of 5 to 6, it is preferable to use slightly acidic soil with moderate clay and high content of organic matter, and it is not recommended to use soil with a pH value higher than 6.5.

Mangosteen is a kind of tree (understorey species) in the lower layer of tropical rain forest (tropical rainforests). It needs shade in the early growth and development period, especially young trees, otherwise their growth rate will decrease significantly and trees may die. It is recommended that 30-50% shade in the seedling stage for four years, if the seedlings are full of sunshine:

Dysplasia

The leaves are scorched

The blade becomes smaller

Reduce the number of times of smoking

Death.

The difference of leaf shape between mangosteen and Maester mountain bamboo

1. Leaf shape of general mangosteen (garnicia managosteen)

(1)。 On the whole, the leaf shape is relatively wide.

(2)。 The leaf tail is flat and symmetrical.

(3)。 The leaves are slightly longer, but the leaves are flat, especially at the end of the leaves.

(4)。 The width of the leaf surface is uniform and gradually decreases to the end of the leaf, and the tail of the leaf is flat and symmetrical.

two。 The leaf shape of Masters mangosteen (mesta mangosteen). Let me give two examples to illustrate:

(1)。 On the whole, the shape of the leaves is narrow and long.

(2)。 The leaf tail is long, slightly V-shaped upward curling, and the leaf tail is a little sideways curved.

(3)。 The other plant has the same narrow leaves.

(4)。 The leaf tail is long, slightly V-shaped upward curling, and the leaf tail is a little sideways curved.

(5)。 Leaf tail curling and side bending
