Where can I get myself this Luc Garcinia?
Do you any where that carries them in the Los Angeles area?
Thanks! Yah, this cookie monstar is getting a little excited :-). I acquired that tree somewhere around 2009 as a little, barely sprouted seedling. It kicked it in a 3 gallon pot until about 2 years ago when I dropped it into the ground.So any updates on the tree.Did the flower become fruits? I am really eager to know

Just wondering if Lucs G. Set fruit ok by themselves or do I need a second? I have another one that I can plant out but would have to plant within 2 feet of the first, I simply have no more room. I do have an Achacha about 30 feet away but am uncertain that it will help my Luc's. any wisdom appreciated!
Mine flowered a second time. Out of about 30 - 40 flowers, only 3 or 4 were female. And out of those, one seems to be holding and growing.

Yep. I got one fruit that is currently about an inch and a half long and fattening up.Quote from: arvind on April 13, 2017, 01:51:53 AMQuote from: Cookie Monster on March 16, 2017, 11:08:00 AMMine flowered a second time.

Talk about flower power and today was a big one in the garden as I haven't had a good look around in a while.Four years ago I planted out a Luc's Mexican garcinia which was about 8 inches high. Now at about 8 feet I inspect it all the time looking for flowers and are yet to be rewarded. Ironically a 3 feet high specimen which has been in the ground hardly 2 years has flowers that I just noticed. I have a few trees planted too close so my Eugenia candolleana and blue jab (vexator) yielded some branches to give it more space and I noticed large green fruit on the vexator branches I trimmed as well as the candolleana.I chopped the branches up and put them around my escarlatte jabs and noticed one has fruit.With all this action I threw off the shackles and went to my Russell sweet trees.I see flowers on the female busting out all over but the male is flower-less.I cant remember a day with so many positive discoveries in the garden with Lucs Mexican Garcinia probably the highlight.
