Tom Mangus (Mangosteen Tree) 🌳 This mangosteen tree (Garcinia mangostana), lovingly named “Tom Mangus,” was planted on 26 January 2025 by Tom from Switzerland. As a gesture of continuity and care, the tree is now gently followed and nurtured by Jerry, symbolizing friendship, shared responsibility, and a lasting connection across cultures.
