Diane,
Yes, I believe mangosteens would require greenhouse conditions here. I was
referring to them as metaphor; or, possibly, I was referring to the canned
mangosteens I buy locally; or possibly the fresh ones I can sometimes find
in Southern CA (illegally imported), or possibly up where you are, the land
of less-restrictive-fruit-import-laws. I have heard rumors that there are
oriental fruit markets in Vancouver and back east in Toronto that have them.
I suppose I should have said my handbasket was filled with blood oranges and
vintage apples, but then - how does one compare apples and oranges? It
comes so quickly back to metaphor.
Cheers,
Stephen Sadler, Ph.D.

PS - I'd love to hear some about your time in Borneo. Lest the topic police
catch wind, feel free to e me at Docshiva at Docshiva.org...

how can I go to hell in a handbasket when my handbasket is full of blood
oranges and mangosteens?
Stephen,
I can believe the blood oranges in Sacramento, but mangosteens? Last time
I saw them was when I was teaching on the island of Borneo.
