Garcinia Hombroniana - Seashore Mangosteen
Seeds were imported from Ecuador. Seashore Mangosteen is a hardy tree that naturally thrives near coastlines, making it highly tolerant of salt, sand, and adverse climatic conditions. Typically growing up to 20 feet tall with a dense canopy and straight trunk, it is known for its whitish flowers that appear in terminal clusters of 1-3 and its smooth, spherical fruit with a pinkish-red peel. The fruit’s interior is segmented like mangosteen, with a pleasantly sour, yellowish pulp, and most segments contain one flat seed. Adapted to sandy and rocky soils near the beach, this tree also grows well in acid clay soils and can tolerate both drought and high rainfall. Seashore Mangosteen is propagated by seeds, which germinate in 3-4 weeks, and is sometimes used as a rootstock for mangosteen grafting (Garcinia mangostana). Beyond its adaptability, its roots and leaves have been used medicinally for centuries to relieve itching, further enhancing its value. Seeds are shipped in humid vermiculite.
