That tree in the wood box that you thought was a mangosteen looks to me like a durian. I have been experimenting with them for years. I have gotten them through winters but they don't seem to like growing in pots. When their roots hit the sides of the pot, which doesn't take long for a durian, they start to struggle -- especially during the winter. I am going to try planting them directly into the ground in the future.
In Florida, Mango trees are typically induced to flower by an extended rain-free period. Some Varieties flower in the fall and others late winter or spring. Some may flower twice a year in my area (St. Petersburg) because here on the Pinellas peninsula we usually have a rain-free period in Spring and another one in fall. And a rainy period in Summer and another rainy period in winter. While in Homestead there's typically just one long rainy season followed by one long dry season.
That’s great to know. For us folks in California’s Central Valley, our mango trees for the most part, produce fruits once a year as our winters knock out any second blooms.
I did not. After my visit to the Fruit & Spice Park, I was informed by a viewer that one of the containerized tree in the greenhouse was in fact a durian tree.

Thanks for the clarification. It wasn’t the prettiest nor the healthiest tree, but it doesn’t appear to be in the decline.
