And fruit trees [edit | edit source] 

Mangosteen is a tropical tree that grows in warm and stable temperature, exposure to temperatures below 0 ° C (32 ° F) for long periods of time, generally will kill mature plants. Experienced horticulturists have grown this species outdoors and take it to be developed in the area of ​​extreme southern Florida. 

Mangosteen is apomiksis obligate, the seeds do not come from the fertilization and allegedly has a narrow genetic diversity, it is estimated that only one in the wild mangosteen and its clones together with its parent. The reality in the field indicate that mangosteen plant diversity may be caused by environmental factors like any natural genetic mutations result in line with the history of mangosteen which has thousands of years old. [1] 

Young mangosteen fruit, which does not require fertilizer to grow (see agamospermy), it will first pale green or almost white under the canopy. When the fruit enlarges over 2 to 3 months, his skin color will be dark green. In this period, the growth of fruit size can be increased up to the skin measuring 6-8 cm (2.4 to 3.1 inches) in outside diameter, will remain hard until the final maturation arrived. 

The chemical properties of the surface under the skin of the mangosteen consists of a variety of polyphenols, including xanthones and tannins that assure astringent can inhibit insects, fungi, plant viruses, bacteria and animal predators, when the fruit is not yet ripe. Discoloration and softening the skin becomes a natural process that shows the maturation of the fruit can be eaten and the seeds have finished growing
