The Tropical Fruit Forum

Okay, perfect, I don't know why I thought it could be a garcinia indeed. I can't remember to have planted seeds of Z.malaccense. However I have planted so many different fruit species over the last two years, that I might have planted some Z.malaccense as well. Anyway, one will know soon or later ! Thank you very much for your help and sharing your knowledge. Much appreciated !

Thanks for the id, I think you are right as I remember a friend of mine gave me some seeds last year.

Interesting post here as well :

Due to the long time it took for those seeds to sprout, I simply lost the label and can't remember what it is. Seems to be a garcinia ? Thanks for your help !

The fruit was yellow. You are right, may be not fully ripe. I liked the taste ( sweet and tart ) the problem was the lack of flesh. I will wait for the other fruits to turn orange then. Thanks for the advice Adam.

that's great ! Which grafting technique did you use ?

Thank you so much Adam for the quick ID ! It seems those fruits are nice and tasty from what that old collector told me this morning. I will taste them pretty soon as well and will let you know. Will post some more pictures of the fruits asap. Thanks again Adam for sharing your knowledge and passion !

From what the collector told me this morning, the fruits are not so sweet. Will taste them when ripe, should be pretty soon as well. I will let you know then.

I think this is an eugenia stipitata but not sure, could anyone confirm or not please ? thanks

Another one. This time I got more info. It comes from Amazon jungle, and the Jivaro eat the fruit. Looks like a garcinia ? Fruits are yellow when ripe.

Just visited today a fruit collector here in NC who planted hundreds of tropical and subtropical fruit trees mainly from seeds he brought back from his different trips he has made over the last 50 years ( south america and asia mainly ). Problem is that he is getting old now and he forgot most names and localities he got them from. I took pictures of some of them flowering or fruiting and I hope someone could help me to identify some of them.

Here is a first one I don't know anything about except that fruits are nice and tasty from owner's sayings ? He is flowering at the moment and should fruit within the next weeks ? I should be able to take pictures of the fruits as well in a near future. But may be some experts could identify that specie without seeing the fruits ?

My 1 year old seedlings of Garcinia puat, one of the very few interesting New  Caledonian endemic fruit tree in terms of edibility and taste. One can make delicious jelly/jam with the fruits.

For those interested I should be able to supply seeds and seedlings pretty soon. Trade only.

If you can ship to France then I am definitely interested by a box when available next time. Please keep me informed by email, thanks in advance. Vincent ( vitiga@canl.nc )

Thanks Alex, no idea, but I reckon it was planted as it seems to be near by a mango tree and a small building too ? I will check this out carefully as soon as it will be fruiting. Thanks for your help. Vincent
