The mangosteen tree is a small, slow growing
tropical evergreen with leathery, glabrous leaves up to 10 inches long. Each
tree has two crops per year one in the autumn and one in early summer. The
fruit is full of xanthones. The fruit has a thick rind with 5 to 7 fleshy
segments inclosed. The pulp has excellent flavor, and is proclaimed by many
as the queen of tropical fruits. The proportion of edible pulp is rather
small but the Xanthones are strongest in the thick rind. The trees bear sparingly
making this one of the most expensive fruits. The juice made with the whole
fruit is now being sold in many countries around the globe with remarkable
results.
