Hello everyone! Thanks to this forum and the amazing information from experts here I have officially become obsessed with adding a Luc’s garcinia to my collection. It’s been decided that it is G. vleerackeii, correct? Despite the fact that it seems almost everyone on here has at least one in their collection, I’ve found it to be next to impossible to track them down ANYWHERE! I live in San Diego so we have the benefit of a wonderful subtropical climate here (I’m 10b) so despite not being able to grow mangosteen without great effort and luck, we can still grow the next best thing!
I’m desperately hoping to get my hands on a nice little tree of Luc’s garcinia, and if price permits, two. I’d also love a good quality achachairu. I have two smallish g. humilis coming from Hawaii soon but I don’t know how the quality of the fruit will be, so if I can get one that is known to be excellent, i’d love to buy one of those as well.
Sorry for being so long winded.
I have a few other garcinias but they’re barely more than seedlings at this point, so it would be wonderful to have something that could potentially fruit in the next couple years.
Whatever the case, if one of you smart, lovely growers out there is willing to pass on one or two of these presumably special plants (based on all the rave reviews i’ve read here) i’d love to be able to buy it from you!
Please send me a message if you think you could make this happen for me. Thanks so very much and I hope those of you in the US had a wonderful turkey day!
Cheers!
Jen
