ID needed for Two fruits
« on: May 14, 2017, 08:42:17 AM »
My neighbor has two unknown fruit trees. The first has a Surinam Cherry growing amongst it's roots and is flowering, so a sure ID will be after fruiting. The flower pic didn't turn out very clear, If needed I will take another. By the leaves it may be a Garcinia.



The second has a distinct 3-pronged stem growth habit. No flowers or fruit, and has sprouted strongly from roots, perhaps after die-back.

Thanks for identifying these. Two of the Imbe have root suckers which should be easy to take propagations from.
