Grow hundreds of mangosteen seedlings in New Caledonia, then import 300-600 scions of mangosteen from Philippine.Shipping 200 plants wont be cheap.
I don't know what the weathers like over there, but I keep my Mangosteen seedling inside the house for the time being for it to get adjusted then maybe I'll look for nice area in the backyard where it's not too cold or hot either

I guarantee your house does not have the humidity needed and doubtful you keep it truly warm enough. Dont know why people feel this is how to care for tropicals and ultra tropicals.

I am not trying to single you out, it goes for many who attempt to grow tropicals and moreso ultra tropicals in zone, locations and areas where one will not wind up with a thriving productive tree but instead ultimately a struggling "houseplant".

I don't know how good the container control is, but I would error on the low side. You never know how long the container will be sitting on the tarmac in the blazing sun. Five days of cooler temps aint going to hurt them, but baking at 40c will.
Thanks for the replies. We have shipped around 300 grafter mangosteen plus about 1000 other grafted fruit trees into an evirotainer at a controled temp of 20 degrees celcius . I will keep you updated with results. We are going to replant all the plants this weekend. They have spent 8 days naked roots but humidified and protected with newspaper. Will know in the next coming weeks wether it was a good idea or not...
