Here’s a video of us trying out the Mexican Garcinia I have growing in my yard from seed.

These are about the same size fruit and seed as Achachairu I have seen grown in SW Florida.

No problem.  I figured folks around here would like to actually see what’s going on with my Luc’s.  Not much footage available of fruiting trees in the U.S.

Good deal. YouTube stars are born!

Just think you will have a big bowl of those to enjoy soon.
It's very encouraging to see the end product when my small
trees are growing slower then mollasses

The seed was received from Luc in April of 2013.  It started off slow but picked up quite a bit after 3 or 4 years.

I have an aichacharu tree that is bigger, but about the same age.  It held 1 fruit to maturity this year.  It was about the same size as my Luc’s, and smaller than the few aichacharu Fruit I have had in the past.  Maybe the small fruit size is due to tree immaturity.  Not sure.  We’ll see what happens in the years to come .
