Wen in Lancetilla Luc and me, found in the Lancetilla Botanical Garden created by Dr Wilson Pope not this tree in the middle of the garden, I remember it was a Garcinia, that is all, I can't recall if there was a sign on the tree or not, but always when I read the reviews of the Russell's it reminds me this fruit, orange color, about same size, this Lancetilla Garcinia has a delicious sweet flavor with a tangy note at the end, the flavor reminds me a bit a sweet loquat, and little beat of apricot, juicy semifirm, we ate a ton of them as the tree was loaded, delicious, we pick them for the ground, the bad part is that they only had a few flat small aborted seeds, it was a single tree, unfortunately at that time we were more rookies than now, so we never had the idea of cutting scion for grafting! Is a shame as of all the fruit we sample those days in the garden that was the one I like the best, hopefully I'll comeback someday for this bad boy! MIKE please look at the pics and tell us what you think, Popenoe brought most of the fruits from Asia that is why I think this Garcinia is from there and not from America,
