My Mangosteen Tree Begins Producing Fruit for the First Time

After a long patience, after 4 years, finally my mangosteen tree began to bear fruit.

Indeed, my mangosteen tree has a height that is not normal because its growth is disturbed by other plants.

So the height of the mangosteen tree is under normal.

I am very happy I could watch my mangosteen tree bear fruit.

The fruit that begins with falling flower petals starts to display the ovaries.

Still visible also hard petals to protect the fruit itself.

Oh, how beautiful! It makes my heart melt.

It does look like a flower compared to a fruit. But I am really happy to see developments in my garden. Mangosteen trees are difficult to breed in private gardens.

I am happy but also sad, this is a tree that my father has grown, my father who has died.

Now, seeing this mangosteen, I miss my father. I miss him so hard!
