The Tropical Fruit Forum

Hola Amigos,
Recently purchased a couple of trees here in southern Ecuador, Vilcabamba area. The nurseryman called it a Mamey Zapote. It's clearly not Pouteria Sapota, the very tasty Central American Mamey.
Here it is known as Ecuadorian Mamey Zapote. Looks to me like Garcinia Macrophylla or Magnifolia? I'm told it likes full sun and little to moderate watering, probably due to its somewhat thick and waxy leaves.
Looking through various threads here on the Forum, the consensus seems to be that there are quite a few varieties of South American Garcinias, with no real clear classification. I haven't seen nor tasted any Ecuadorian Mamey fruit. From Mike's description here (https://tropicalfruitforum.com/index.php?topic=42574.msg418263#msg418263), I'm hoping it's the variety he finds very tasty!
Here are some photos of the trees.

Should U see this pop up on the interwebs, you'll know what it's about.

From a recent Ecuadorian FB post:

"Hay un herbicida natural muy bueno producido aquí en Ecuador. Llamado Babamaleza, es producido por una compañía llamada Avemco, en Bucay. Certificado orgánico y hecho de la escorrentía del jugo de cacao (baba) durante la fermentación del cacao. Los granjeros lo prefieren más que los herbicidas de glifosato y paraquat"

"There is a very good natural herbicide produced here in Ecuador. Called Babamaleza, it is produced by a company called Avemco, in Bucay. Organic certificate and made from runoff from cocoa juice (baba) during cocoa fermentation. Farmers prefer it more than glyphosate and paraquat herbicides."
