http://tropicalfruitforum.com/index.php?topic=9160.0There is no mangosteen that produces fruit in 2 years from time of planting seed. You're not doing your homework! If you believe this you will also be sold the Eiffel tower.

Grafted mangosteen trees also will not fruit in 2 years. Part of the reason that mangosteen fruit is so costly is that it takes very many years to get them to fruit.

There are lots and lots of vendors on eBay that are less than honest. There is no dwarf mangosteen and no mangosteen that bears in 18 months in a pot as this seller claims. That is the whole point of this thread.

From seed to fruiting tree won't ever happen in under 5 years.I have one that fruited after 5 years in the ground and was planted as a seedling over 12 months old. That is a pretty good effort and 8 years is more usual even for healthy trees.
The only difference is that the fruit may also be variegated. If anything a variegated plant grows a lot slower and fruits slower due to less photosynthesis. No way in hell you are going to get fruits in 2 years whether grafted or not!
How about giving name of University, professors that worked on research, name of published papers, etc.? If it is an established fact how about some photos? Old saying in plant business:
"photos or it doesn't exist".Report to moderator Logged
