Where are the mangosteen-producing areas in Guangdong? A detailed explanation of the main producing regions

The mangosteen-producing areas in Guangdong include Maoming, Guangzhou, and others. Mangosteen generally ripens from May to October each year, with the highest yields from August to October. It also has a high demand for water during rapid growth and grows vigorously under conditions of high temperature and high humidity.

Mangosteen propagation methods:

1. Cuttage

Cutting the stems and leaves of a flowering plant and inserting them into a seedbed so that they grow into a complete plant is called cuttage. The material used for cuttage (roots, stems, leaves) is called a cutting.

2. Grafting

Attaching the bud or branch of one plant onto another plant so that the two parts grow into one complete plant. The attached bud or branch is called the scion, and the plant onto which it is grafted is called the rootstock.

3. Layering

Using the branches of the mother plant, pressing them into the soil and applying a certain method to make them root, thereby obtaining a new plant, is called layering. For example, Chaenomeles speciosa (flowering quince) and Nerium oleander (oleander) have many long branches on the mother plant, and when pressed into the soil they root, so layering is often used for propagation. The layering method is easy to perform, requires no special management after layering, and has a high survival rate, so it is a commonly used propagation method for woody flowering plants.

4. Division

Division propagation is the method of separating the tiller buds, corms, rhizomes, stolons, and so on of a flowering plant from the mother plant and planting them separately to form independent new plants. The division method is divided into two types: full division and half division.

Mangosteen is a perennial economic fruit tree, and it takes about 7-8 years from cultivation to fruiting. However, in areas suitable for its growth, it can basically be transplanted all year round.
