What type of soil to use for new world Garcinias

[CitrusFanatic]

What type of soil do you guys use for Garcinias like achacha, Luc's and lemondrop?

In ground I used just our Florida sandy soil, 4 inches compost on top and slow release fertilizer. They flushed immediately.
I put in 20 achachairu seedlings 1 year old. Used wood stakes with shade cloth stapled to make little houses for them.
I'll post a video of the project soon.

Thanks! I'll make sure to add lots of compost to my garcinias. How far apart did you space your achachas when planting them?

I used 25 ft spacing but put in a soursop tree between each one for the first years since these grow slowly. Also put a papaya between each of those to pay for the planting. many other plants are in there and in between so I'll show later.
Our soil is sort of nondescript sand and always needs amendment s, mulch, etc. It is already well drained and I plant on raised mounds. I think almost all soils would benefit by some compost.
