Default Seashore Mangosteen

I have a bunch of Seashore Mangosteens (Garcinia hombroniana) available if any one wants one. They are healthy and bout 17'' tall.

Spanish name is: mangostán de playa

It is cultivated sporadically throughout the tropics.

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. Flowers are whitish, and occur terminally in clusters of 1-3. The fruit is smooth, 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.
