Wait longer than you think you need to before harvesting the fruit. The wrinkled ripe fruit that fall off the vine are much sweeter than the just-ripe, glossy-looking fruit. <br />Enjoy! :) Sunita Mohan https://www.blogger.com/profile/16395671437601246093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7433906806220848808.post-47343671352906060062017-09-05T09:19:16.201+05:302017-09-05T09:19:16.201+05:30Hi,

I also planted them last year and now after a year they have fruits which are still raw, waiting eagerly for them to ripen they are still green. Any idea how long it takes for them to ripen.

They're too old and hard which means that they've been plucked too long ago. Mangosteens dont keep very well. <br />I guess the people in charge of pricing at these stores have to keep in mind the transportation charges but I wish that whoever was in charge of purchasing knew that they're getting cheated with such poor quality!Sunita Mohan https://www.blogger.com/profile/16395671437601246093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7433906806220848808.post-18788426450077426022011-12-28T17:14:11.605+05:302011-12-28T17:14:11.605+05:30Hi Sunita,

But the similarity ends there.
