Mexico Mangosteen Fruit Plant, commonly known as Mexican Mangosteen or Garcinia intermedia (also called Lemon Drop Mangosteen), is a fast-growing tropical fruit plant admired for its tangy-sweet flavor and easy cultivation. Unlike the traditional mangosteen, this variety is more adaptable and suitable for home gardens. The fruit is small, round, and bright yellow when ripe. It has a thin, smooth skin and juicy pulp with a refreshing citrus-like taste, blending sweetness with a pleasant tang. This makes it perfect for fresh eating and also for making juices, jams, and desserts. The Mexican Mangosteen plant is a compact, evergreen tree that grows well in tropical and subtropical climates. It is relatively low-maintenance compared to other Garcinia species and can start fruiting within a few years, making it a great choice for beginners and gardening enthusiasts. Botanical name: Garcinia intermedia (commonly “Lemon drop mangosteen”) Origin: Mexico and Central America
