Seashore Mangosteen (Garcinia hombroniana)

The Seashore Mangosteen, also known as Garcinia hombroniana, is a tropical fruit tree native to coastal regions of Southeast Asia, particularly Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. This small to medium-sized tree belongs to the Clusiaceae family, known for its ornamental value and edible fruit.

The tree typically reaches 15–20 feet in height, with glossy, dark green leaves that are oblong and slightly leathery. It thrives in sandy, well-draining soils, making it ideal for coastal areas. The seashore mangosteen is highly tolerant of saline environments and strong winds, making it a popular choice for planting in beachside gardens.

Its fruits are smaller than the more well-known purple mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana), with a thin, smooth, greenish-yellow skin that ripens to orange or red. The pulp inside is juicy and slightly acidic, offering a tangy flavor with a hint of sweetness. Although less commonly grown commercially, the fruit is a favorite among locals in its native regions.

The seashore mangosteen is not only valued for its fruit but also for its medicinal properties. Traditional medicine uses parts of the tree for various remedies, including treating digestive issues and skin ailments. Its attractive appearance and adaptability to challenging environments also make it a suitable candidate for ornamental landscaping.

Ideal growing conditions include full to partial sunlight, moderate watering, and protection from prolonged droughts. Though it is relatively low-maintenance, ensuring a consistent supply of water and nutrients will encourage healthier fruit production.
