2. Mangosteen Common name : Mangosteen Scientific name : Garcinia mangostana Family : Clusiaceae

3. Origin : Island Southeast Asia. Propagation : Seed. Spacing for mangosteen is 7×7 m. Manures and fertilizers FYM 75 kg and NPK (1:0.8:3.0 kg/tree) June – July. Yield Upto 500-600 fruits/tree. The tree grows from 6 to 25 m (19.7 to 82.0 ft) tall.

8. Carambola Common name : Carambola Scientific name : Averrhoa carambola Family : Oxalidaceae

9. Temperature : 20 – 35 C. Origin : Southeast Asia. Carambola fruits contain oxalic acid and the neurotoxin caramboxin . Consuming large quantities of the fruit, especially for individuals with some types of kidney disease, can result in serious adverse health effects. Common cultivars of carambola include: Sweet types: "Arkin" (Florida), "Yang Tao" (Taiwan), "Ma fueng " (Thailand), "Maha" (Malaysia), and "Demak" (Indonesia).
