Today, mangosteen can be found in home gardens and orchards in
many warm and frost free-countries between 100-190 latitude.
Mangosteen thrives well in warm and humid places with: elevation of up
to 1000 meters above sea level; temperature of 25oC to 30oC; annual rainfall of 2000 mm evenly distributed in six to ten
months, and with a dry period of one to two months.
