Giant Button Mangosteen, Cherapu

Common Names: Giant Button Mangosteen, Cherapu, Button Mangosteen

Giant Button Mangosteen is a rare tropical fruit tree from Southeast Asia that can grow in Perth in a greenhouse. The fruit is super juicy and sweet with a bright citrus kick. While the parent plant is self fertile the seedlings are most likely going to be the same. Therefore you only need one tree to get delicious fruit in your backyard.

Features:

Ideal prune height range: 1.5-3m

pH growing conditions: 5.5 to 6.5

Shade or full sun: Prefers lots of shade in Perth Metro, greenhouse for first 5 years.

Minimum pot year 5: 30L pot

Time to fruit age: 5-7 years from seed.

This tree is slow growing and great for growing in pots. It has dark green leaves and bright orange fruit with thin soft skin that is easy to peel. It needs regular water and protection from hot Perth sun and winter frost.

Interesting Notes:

Unlike regular purple mangosteens, this tree stays smaller and fruits well in containers. The soft fruit tastes like a sweet tangerine mangosteen mix.

This rare plant is a top pick for fruit collectors and tropical food gardens.
