<p>Manggis trees thrive in undisturbed mixed dipterocarp forests on hillsides and ridges up to an altitude of 200 meters. The fruit takes several years to mature and is seasonal, with no guarantee of consistent production each season. A forested habitat is essential to stimulate fruit growth, and the mangosteen is typically propagated through seeds.</p>
