Has anybody fruited the G. dulcis in Florida yet? I got some seeds from Joshua a couple of years ago and they are still small, we also have one 4 ft. tree that appears to be G. dulcis but who knows. I just got some more seeds from Stevo recently. I like to plant seeds directly into the forest. We have between 200-300 Garcinias ranging in size from 7 ft. to 2” of several varieties. Our imbe’ have been fruiting small multiple crops/year. 1 Achachachiru is fruiting size but no flowers yet. We also have a couple 7ft. G. hombromiana and some 6ft. G. intermedia. We also had a 7’ G. madrono I almost killed by digging it up, it is finally after 4 years coming to life again as a 4’ tree.
I planted 3 in-ground
all around the same time.
One in a fertile mulch heavy area with regular watering is about 3-4 ft (75% shade)
One in full sun in a neglected area is 1 ft, full sun, leaves burn.
One in full shade location, unreplenished soil, no additional water is less than a foot still.
All from the same batch Joshua sent
