The tree is from Misiones, maybe 3 or 4 years old. I have 2 more of them, they dont like full sun or wind.

Looks like my achacha?
Before the cold nights defoliated mine. Hopefully will leaf back out this Spring

Hi, I dont think it is achachairu (garcinia humilis): that species is from hotter climates. Many garcinias look similar.

I also would have guessed achacha $:-\$

haha, well, I hope so! but almost nobody has achachairu at Misiones

Not Achachairu. Stems/tips and leaves are different

FlyingFoxFruits · « **Reply #6 on:** February 06, 2018, 12:31:08 AM »

probably achachairu G.humilis.

roblack · « **Reply #7 on:** February 06, 2018, 07:46:38 AM »

Ok, thanks, I would like to know about differences

fruitlovers · « **Reply #9 on:** February 06, 2018, 05:48:17 PM »

Yes looks like achachairu. Climate in Misiones is very similar to climate in Santa Cruz, Bolivia where achachairu comes from. And achachairu is widely adapted, will grow in many different zones.

Ok, thanks all, it would be fun if I have achachairú, as the seller said it was pacurí -garcinia brasilensis or gardneriana or something like that- 3 years ago... but back then, some of you wrote that the leaves were rare to be g. brasilensis... so...

Seller was probably right. You'll find out when it fruits

Besides obvious differences in the fruit, there are differences in new growth, leaves, ends/tips of branches are slightly different as well. When you have new growth pushing out from the tips take photos and post it here. That will help

Hi, I found photos from september 2015:

FlyingFoxFruits · « **Reply #15 on:** February 10, 2018, 06:41:33 PM »

how did that greenhouse work out for you? the one i see in the picture from 2015?

I will try to get pics of my G. gardneriana for you, so we can compare leaves, yours does look a little funny now that i see 2015 pics, reminds me of gardneriana more i suppose...it would be nice if it was brasiliensis (maybe a superior form) or even gardneriana, or achachairu...they're all good eating fruits.

Nice pics. Even more positive it's not Achachairu now!

fruitlovers · « **Reply #17 on:** February 10, 2018, 09:05:25 PM »

Yeah, these new photos look more like brasilensis.

Ok, thanks, greenhouse is resistant to high wind. You should use a good wood so it will not rotten! as I did not bar the wood in 2 years, and it is a cheap wood, it rotted on several sides and I am repairing it now.

Ok, maybe brasilensis or gardneriana, fruit should be good. Very sensitive to wind and full sun...
