Back to buying optionsLemon Drop Mangosteen Live Plant, Garcinia intermedia, 4 Inch Pot, Tropical Fruit Tree, Rare Garcinia Plant
Grow an exceptional tropical fruit tree with Lemon Drop Mangosteen (Garcinia intermedia), a rare evergreen species prized for its bright yellow, sweet-tart fruit and attractive glossy foliage. Native to Central America, this unique Garcinia produces small, lemon-colored fruit with a refreshing citrus-like flavor that is enjoyed fresh or used in beverages, preserves, and desserts.
With its naturally compact growth and ornamental appearance, Lemon Drop Mangosteen is an excellent addition to tropical gardens, edible landscapes, patios, and container collections. In warm climates it thrives outdoors year-round, while gardeners in cooler regions can grow it in containers and protect it from frost.
