| Just got these treasures today, brought in for me from Honduras. I live in Guatemala.
Can anyone offer me advice on keeping them alive; I understand they don't tolerate moving or transplanting very well. I plan to keep them here in Guatemala City in the shade until next May when the rains begin again, then move them to my lemon farm at a lower and warmer climate. The climate here in Guatemala City is best described by the slogan of the city, which is The City of Eternal Springtime. Thanks,

| There is a tropical fruit forum on Gardenweb, looks like several people there grow mangosteens. They may be of more help. |

| This is somewhat of a double-posted thread. It seems that the other thread has more info so far, so it may be best to refer to it for further comment. It's linked below. |
