it seems like there is nobody who has fruited this tree outside of Mexico?is that true?if so, there is an international race at hand!
My lucs garcinia survived a hard freeze here west of Orlando. The only protection was a blanket and soil banked around the trunk. White sapote, longans, jabo,lychee, black sapote were protected in a similar manner. Those trees took a hit (and are recovering) but the garcinia was not damaged at all. Just to give you an idea, during this freeze, the sprinklers were turned on the citrus trees and it was cold enough for four inch icicles to form.

Fantastic, I grow mine exposed at Hidden Hollow North West of Orlando were they laughed at the freeze too! These guys could replace citrus as a crop in a few decades. 😃
This is it for this season , had to hike 3 hours up in the jungle to check on every tree I know , ran into some MJ growing guys , they helped me , at my age 70 I don't wanna or can climb 10 meter plus trees , some have those nasty stinging ants . Had a great time .

Had a great time . Thank You, 70 is the new 55 Luc, I am glad you are healthy to stir up some trouble for the Cartel!😃 Wonder if you roast the seeds will it taste like almond? Wonder any B-17 in the seeds? A trained monkey could be of great assistance in 2016; maybe the local petting zoo might rent one out for a day or too!🙈🙉🙊Gosh three hours hike, perfect tourism itinerary , I think you & Raul sell a bed & breakfast eco fruit tourism for spring 2016; it should attract a few pot heads too, freshest from the source! 💂
Anyone knows about nutritional composition or medicinal properties of this garcinia? Thank's!

In order to have that scientists have to analyze it in a labratory. As far as science goes this species doesn't even exist, so how is it going to have a nutritional analysis?
