Seashore mangosteen is a small tree, reaching a height of 15-20 feet (4.6-6 m). It has a straight trunk and is densely branched. Young twigs are smooth and green, but older bark is dark brown and rough. With white latex. Leaves are opposite, bright green, 6-10 inches (15-25 cm) long and 2-5 inches (5-13 cm) wide. Flowers are whitish, and occur terminally in clusters of 1-3. Trees are dioecious. The fruit is smooth, spherical and beaked, with a pinkish red peel. The interior is segmented, like the mangosteen, but the pulp is yellowish, thin and sour, although it has a good flavor. Most segments contain one flat seed.

The fruit of seashore mangosteen is aromatic but with thin, sour flesh. It could probably be used to make juices and jellies. The tree is an attractive ornamental. The roots and leaves are used medicinally to relieve itching.

Trees grown from seeds are not identical to the parent tree.

Grown organically in Florida.

IMPORTANT!

Small plants need protection from cold, wind, sun, dry-out.

Place all plants in a spot of moderate temperatures (70-80F) in good light but NOT in a direct sun for two weeks until they adjust from shipping in darkness. NO direct sun, NO partial shade - FULL SHADE ONLY! Sun will burn small plants! Allow the plants a week or two to adjust to their new home before transplanting or fertilizing. If you plan to plant them in the garden, gradually increase their exposure to sunlight and outdoor conditions! Temperatures falling below 60F can result in plant damage.

RETURNS/Replacements. If plants died during the shipment or look sad when received and you can send me the message with the photo the same day or a few days later, plants are still in the original pot, YES, I will replace/refund. If plants are replanted in a new pot/soil, kept outside, overwatered/dried or left in a sun, damaged by cold weather (especially during the night), heat during the day, dry wind, low humidity, sorry, then no replacements/refunds are given.

Plant care instructions are included with every plant or printed on the other side of the included receipt.
