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.
Richard

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.

Wow, Great Garcinia !! :)

Thanks

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?
Roy
-
How long does this seeds stay good and what is the price?????
-
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 :)

Taparyal I'm glad you posted about this rare garcinia..I got confused and thought this was same as Garcinia pendunculta. One more to add to our garcinia fruit bowl!

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?
-
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

Please look here, this Garcinia is described as very delicious:

Hi Roy,
Do you think you will ever have seed of this one again? I'd like to put my hand up for the next time, if there is a next time.
Thanks,
Bruce.

Bruce and if any other person interested
There is a possibility to get Garcinia paniculata seeds soon again.

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.
-
Roy,
After a long long time, Yesterday I received the second package, all seeds are germinated and good , with very good roots
I think this second package take more than 3 months in transit
Thanks
RIcardo
-
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.
-
Any seeds currently available? Thanks!
-
Just wanted to post the progress of some of my seedlings from Dijpati's seeds

Cheers,

Richard,
Looking great as usual! I hope all is going well for you, you on the look out for any other cacti fruit etc.? I wonder how graft compatible those are with other Garcinia sp.
-
nice plants Richard!
yours are ahead of mine!
there's 4 in the pot, and one that's barely sprouting, hard to see in the photo, but I can see it (lower right hand side of the container)

I have fresh seeds of Garcinia paniculata
Thanks
Roy
-
I am interested.
How much for how many seeds with shipping to the US?
FYI, I ordered the Hodgsonia Herteroclitia from you, five of the six seeds came up, three came up this spring.
-
Hi Roy, I am sending a PM. Thank you, Chris
-
PM Sent ;D Thank you for bringing these seeds to the world.

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!
-
love to hear feedback on taste, and growth habits and whether this can grow in containers long term or not!
-
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
Roy

Kok mangosteen definitely might garner some interest ;D
We can market it as a libido enhancer he he ;).
Thank you Roy for your efforts to spread this rare botanic gem. It looks very promising!!

Tripura/Tripuri mangosteen sounds good.

Roy, many thanks for seeds, they germinated partly in the way.

I have a few seedlings, so far they are doing really good. An ornamental tree as well, I like the red coloration of the new growth.
