Mangosten is a tropical fruiting tree and where it originate is
unknown. Some however said it came from Sunda Islands and the Moluccas.

A pyramid shaped crown, this tree grows up from 20 to 28 feet in height with nearly black, flaky outer bark and a gummy, bitter latex is contained inside its bark. It has short stalk, dark green leafy leaves that are oblong and glossy atop and yellow-green and dull on the underside. While new leaves are rosy red and oblong.
Male flowers are borne in clusters, 3-9 at branch tips, fleshy, green with red spots on the outside and yellowish red on interior. The anthers bear no pollen though they have many stamens.
The fruit is round, dark purple to reddish purple, smooth and about 1 1/3 to 3 inches in diameter. The flesh is snow white, juicy and soft, some may not contain seed. It is acclaimed for its luscious, delectable, slightly acidic flavor. It is called the “queen of tropical fruit.”
It is picky about place where to plant it. It needs deep rich organic soil, but it can also survive in sandy loam or clay containing course material. Quite elevated and humid temperature. Strong winds from storms harms them much, so great protection is needed.
Propagation is done through seed, and sprouts within 22 days and must be planted where it should stay for years before relocating it again. It bears fruit within 7-9 years, some for 10 years. A space of 35-40 and 4x41/2 deep with rich soil. Well cared and watered.
