Don't make me blush guys .....new season is April - May 2017
The flower on the left looks perfect. The one on the right may be male.
OK, any of you garcinian cowboys know if these are male or female flowers? My 7 - 8 year old charlie brown tree is puping out its first 3 flowers (hopefully more to come!). If you look at the close-up, you can see microscopic ants romping around on the stamens.
I am so excited for you! Is this in the acidic yard? Quote from: Cookie Monster on January 12, 2017, 03:08:09 PMOK, any of you garcinian cowboys know if these are male or female flowers?

Wow what a beauty.At what age can the tree handle full sun? I hear this plant can handle full sun at younger age than the purple mangosteen
Thanks. I've had mine in full sun nearly its entire life. They seem to tolerate both full sun or shade but better / quicker growth from part shade.Quote from: arvind on January 12, 2017, 10:42:58 PMWow what a beauty.At what age can the tree handle full sun?

This is a Luc's on Imbe done in June of 2016. I think the new world garcinias graft fine on the old world gardenias, at least on the Imbe.
I tryed uncessfully 3 Lucs and i used as roostock garcinia hombroniana.
