Yellow Mangosteen

$34.00 ($24.00-$79.00 choose a size)

Yellow Mangosteen is a round fruit with very tart yellow segments. The high acidity makes it ideal for jams and jellies but removing the seed and skin can be time consuming. Easier to grow in the subtropics than the purple mangosteen, but the flavour is altogether different. The tree grows well in full sun and shade. It will tolerate and continue to fruit heavily in drought conditions. The tree is very attractive, with large drooping leaves and a layered form. The fruit can reach 8-10 cm in length and looks highly ornamental when in the tree.

Safou

I really wanted to grow Safou trees because I had read how good the fruit was to eat. I had heard it described by friends who had tried it as like mashed potato and butter' or like herby Avocado'. I had been looking for seeds or seedlings for a while when I found them at Daleys. They like warm and humid. I live on the Atherton Tablelands and I will put them in a greenhouse with a mister in the cooler months until they are more established. I would like to buy more seedlings in the future.
