Meanwhile, it can withstand a maximum of 35 \u00b0C in a tropical climates.<\/p>\n<p>Malaysia with its ideal climate conditions favors mangosteen growth. Its environment with high humidity, high temperature, abundant rainfall and layers of tropical rainforest provides shady growing places for the mangosteen. \u00a0The tree needs adequate water supply during fruiting season.
