Mangosteen 101: Part Two
Does mangosteen fruit grow on a tree or a bush?
Mangosteen fruit grows on one of the slowest growing and longest living tropical trees. Mangosteen trees thrive in ultra-tropical climates with high atmospheric humidity. They have a high straight trunk and symmetrically arranged branches which form the shape of a pyramid at the top. The leaves on the tree are dark green and shiny. A seedling tree usually grows about 10-15 years before it yields fruit.
Once a tree has matured, when is the fruit harvested?
When the fruit has a color change from green to reddish-pink, it is ready to be picked. Although the mangosteen has a fairly thick rind, it needs to be handled carefully to prevent it from becoming damaged. After it has been harvested and the color changes to a dark violet, it is ready to be eaten.
How often is mangosteen fruit harvested and how many fruits does one tree produce?
Mangosteen fruit gets harvested from a mature tree twice a year. The number of fruit can vary per tree. Mature trees can yield anywhere from 400 - 900 fruit.
Is mangosteen used for anything other than partaking in the enjoyment of it as a fresh fruit?
Mangosteen is a versatile fruit. In addition to being consumed fresh, it can be processed into delicious jams, juices, preserves and candies.
Why has mangosteen recently come to the attention of a wider audience around the world?
Many of the traditional natural healers of Southeast Asia have taken advantage of the beneficial properties of mangosteen for hundreds of years. It has been utilized for numerous health supporting benefits, and westerners who are educated about Asian healing traditions have recently begun to share their knowledge with the rest of the world.
