This delicious and healthy fruit is one of my favorites. It is sweet and I can never seem to get enough of it. It grows on evergreen trees which are between 20 and 80 feet tall!
In the USA (at least when I was there) they were very expensive and I could usually find them only at a Thai Buddhist Temple. Here they are a lot less money. I bought this kilo for only about USA$2.

We have a lot of that here, Richard but I do not like Mangosteen.

To my knowledge it is not available here anywhere. I have wanted to try it, just because I love to try new things and people claim that it is a miraculous healing fruit.

I have got no idea about this fruit.I was watching the picture for the first time. Shape is bit funny.Each unit is a fruit or bunch of fruits? Do they have seeds in side and how is the texture of the fruit? I don't think we can get them in India. Thanks!

The person who owns my cellphone (me) forgot to plug it in last night so I am charging it now. When it is charged I will take a picture for you. The texture is soft and it is full of white "pods". Once you have the picture you will understand better!

I know I've heard the name, but I don't think I've ever seen or eaten them. Is this the Thai Buddhist Temple near me? I actually passed by there the other day and I thought of you. I just found out they had food there on weekends and I had no idea - what planet have I been on all this time? What do these taste like?

I have this tree but it has so far not yielded and I doubt if it will as it is quite old now.
