The unusual thing about the photo is that mangosteen cannot be picked from the ground because it is a fruit that grows on tall trees, typically around 6 to 25 meters high. Mangosteen fruits ripen on the tree, and when they fall, they usually fall from a great height, which can damage the fruit. Therefore, mangosteen is typically harvested by hand while still on the tree, using special tools or by shaking the branches to make the ripe fruit fall, rather than picking it from the ground.
