Title: Rarest Garcinia paniculata seeds are AGAIN available
Post by: Roy-Ind on July 08, 2014, 04:32:13 AM
 Garcinia paniculata is very difficult  to find in deep jungles in North East India
The pulp is  soft and sweet .
Only one tree was found after searching for several years.

Roy,

Where are these from?  Are they ultra tropical, or do you think they could survive in a subtropical - temperate climate.

Wow they look almost like a willughbeia or landolphia fruit, any chance these guy come from North east India Digpati?  As soon as the Loroco seeds ripe in the fall I send to you the seeds!

Garcinia paniculata fruits are from hilly jungles of Tripura.
The lone plant bore a few fruits.
I think the plant can survive cold to some extent(In winter the temperature falls to 4 to 5 degree celsius)

I have a very few seeds only.Those order first they will get.

There were  only few responses for this Garcinia species
This is very rare Garcinia species
It is only sweet Garcinia species in India
There are not many sweet Garcinia species in the world
The seeds were extracted from fruits harvested from a single tree in the remote forest
I have doubt whether I can get them next time
This may be last chance to get this particular rarest Garcinia species
Are you listening rare garcinia collectors?

Seeds I suppose ike with all Garcinias have limited viability, however Roy always is very careful with package, so that seeds simply live there life. My last Garcinia (Garcinia pedunculta) i got from Digpati Roy sprouted during the shipping and I recieved all seeds with a root system :)

No they are different, Digpati posted pictures of both.
Actually this one seems very rare, and not much information is available on this Garcinia.
As it is a sweet Garcinia it may be really intresting for fruit growers I think.

How big is the fruit of this garcinia?
Title: Re: Rarest Garcinia paniculata seeds are available
Post by: Roy-Ind on July 21, 2014, 12:27:35 AM
None has seen this sweet Garcinia paniculata in many years.
One person from Tripura sent me many photos.
All of sudden I found this Garcinia in his photos.
This is big variety of this species-3 cm long.
There are 4 seeds in each fruit,some time only one seed is found in small size fruits.
Nobody knows about viability of these seeds.
Many persons have asked me seeds of it but I am unable to satisfy everyone.
Only my old customers will get them as long as stock lasts
Please identify fruits posted by me on discussion board
Thank you
Roy

thanks for more photos Roy,

I wonder what other unusual Garcinias are lurking in your country!?

I am unfamiliar with most of the plants from India/Asia/Africa...so it's always exciting to see learn of new species from these areas.

I think there is a ton of untapped potential!

finally I see two of these seeds sprouted..although they were germinated when i received them..it took a long time for them to pop up!

thanks Roy...I'm excited about this one...seems easy to grow so far..it didn't mind the cold weather we had..and it doesn't mind city water.

Thanks

Roy,

i had almost gave up on these seeds...they arrived in great condition...already germinated...so i planted them...this was about 4 months ago or more it seems?  I thought maybe they had died....but now I notice I have at least 3 seedlings.

they are tolerant of cold for sure, because they were left unprotected for several evenings, around 38F.

I'm very excited about this species.

thanks for sharing....I hope you can get more in the future.

Roy,

these seedlings have been easy to grow.

slow growing and beautiful. (so far have survived 35F-105F without any damage at all)

As a grower who likes to keep trees bound in containers, I have learned to appreciate trees that grow very slow!

they are easier to keep in a pot for a long time!

I sent a PM, it's always worth it to plant more of these!

Through my efforts,this aromatic and sweet Garcinia from North East India(Tripura,an Indian State) has spread to all over the world.None outside the native range has seen or tasted the fruit as all the plants are in seedling stage.All of them who has these seedlings may have to wait for another 4-5 years to taste the fruit.
As many of the Garcinia species can be grown in large containers,this has possibility to grow in such container.
In our place,none cultivates this as this grows in deep jungles.
This fruit is called KOK in Kokborok language spoken by Tripuri people.
We should find a name of it in English
How about KOK MANGOSTEEN  or TRIPURI MANGOSTEEN
Thank you

Kok mangosteen definitely might garner some interest ;D
