This is the link to the San Diego Zoo mangosteen tree.

Checked your link out Delonix and sounds like it's super tropical. Always good to try something different.

Best of luck with your new venture.

Thorneyside,

It’s considered an ultra tropical tree. However, there’s people growing them in the mildest , protected areas of San Diego’s awesome frost-free subtropical climate. One local nursery that sells them says Vietnamese people here have fruited it. Although, I would have to see pics to believe it.

Bushbernie,

Thank you. I will post my progress with this tree.

I’ve read it has to have tons of water and no direct sun here until it’s over 6 ft (2 m) tall.
