Garcinia parvafolia is something I’ve been working on for probably 7 years. This is not the first time it’s produced but the first credible commercial production where I could take it to my stall at the farmers market and sell several kg. The pulp is sweet and appealing, this was not a hard introduction to make. On Borneo the locals dry the skin, powder it and use it as an ingredient in curries to give tang to the dish. I’ve had reports that the skins, blended with water and sugar makes a good juice drink. Most of my customers are eating the pulp and casting the skins away. Peter
They look great.Congrats on the successful crop.I saw they share similar growth requirements to mangosteen.How long did your tree take to fruit? ~5yrs?I'm might consider adding this to my Garcinia collection.
