Hmmm.  Considering mangosteen trees only grow near the equator and are
quite temperature sensitive, it likely is not.  I've heard that someone
got one to grow in southern California in a greenhouse for a couple of
years but definitely not to the point of fruiting.

Also, I doubt anyone would describe the fruit as being "milky."  It is
segmented like a tangerine with a very thick and hard purplish "peel"
similar to a pomegranate.  The fruit is incredibly delicious; the outside
is more bitter than alum.

If you have a growing mangosteen tree, I know some people who would
absolutely love to talk with you!

Unfortunately, the photo was not there for me to view, said it was moved
or deleted.
