Title: What’s this?
Post by: FV Fruit Freak on September 11, 2019, 12:32:42 AM

Picked this at the Fullerton Arboretum today. It taste good, sweet with some sour and only one seed. Would someone please help me identify? I can’t find a picture of it anywhere online.

It's garcinia xanthochymus. I've never been there when they were ripe. Good one Nate!

You da man, thanks Chris! Unfortunately there were only a few left on the tree or I’d say get over there and grab one. Hoping I can get these seeds to sprout. I really enjoyed the fruit.
