Quote from: FlyingFoxFruits on April 20, 2015, 10:52:19 PMok now i'm convinced this tree is different than me G. intermedia.the fruit had a different shape...and is largerso my only guess now is gardneriana (as it was originally labeled)I'm not so sure about the larger......at least not larger than mine as best I can tell from the photo. But, definitely different shape than intermedia.

Adam,. can you post photo of flower and leaf?
I have 4 lots of Garcinia gardneriana from 4 sources.Two lots have large leaves and two have smaller leaves.I saw pix of the fruit and both forms seem to be garneriana or very similar.My question is does anyone know if there actually is a large and small leafed form of this species?

Or it also could be misidentifications. How does fruit on your plants taste? Is it similar to taste of intermedia? BTW there could also be different versions of intermedia. For example, I've seen photos of something called jocomico, that is supposed to be G. intermedia and has red fruits.
and they have many medicinal propertieshttp://www.corposaun.com/planta-carie/4505/i have 4 trees, 60cm tall or so... they grow very slow
they seem to be large, see:http://tropicalfruitforum.com/index.php?topic=10354.msg132715#msg132715

is gardneriana monoecious?
main thing I just need one to get fruit!
