Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Lucs Garcinia production

Raul has also posted a video in the past showing an example of a wild tree growing and producing in better conditions than those in deep shade.

So Raul would you say a high percentage of the trees don't set fruit? If you were to guess, what percent would you say do fruit?

As Oscar and Raul noted, wild trees are going to behave differently than trees in cultivation. You must realize that most wild trees are not growing in full sun and are not being cared for by humans as commercial/back yard plantings. It's not like a human grabs the wild fruits and disperse them naturally in perfect spots and then babies them. Wild trees are subject to the conditions where they sprout and grow and those conditions are variable. I observed them in their natural habitat during fruit development season and saw many of them growing in full shade - and though they had signs of previous flowerings, those trees were not carrying any fruit. Some wild trees get "lucky" and end up in better growing conditions than that (sunlight) earlier in their lives or right away and will have a different more full growth (compared with trees growing in deep shade) and likely produce more because of it. But those would still be different from commercial/yard plantings. This is true with most if not all wild fruit trees compared to commercial/yard plantings.

There is no official ID - unidentified garcinia species from the americas. Was labeled as "Rusty" by Felipe Osborne (since passed away) in Puerto Rico.

Thats good info Adam. I have one fruit that's currently softball sized hanging on my tree for the first time so I was curious as when to pick the fruit. I will keep watch for the color change- do they "color-up" off the tree? I also have 2 trees I grew from Hawaiian seeds that are 3ft and 1 year old I was thinking of tossing in the ground...have heard mixed reviews on biriba/rollinia taste/texture? Thanks, Chris

They go from perfectly ripe to turning black and much more snotty texture inside very quickly. Harvest when Adam said and then eat it - don't let it sit around. This one from neighbor's tree was picked off tree a few minutes before photo and was ready to be eaten.

Contact adam aka FlyingFoxFruits, he has a superior version of lemon drop.

That is bacupari (garcinia brasiliensis). Not lemon drop (garcinia intermedia).


U are absolutely correct. Though,.the OP may consider superior version of lemon drop by Adam.

The OP bought a 7gal lemon drop that has fruited already that came from Adam originally. I don't know about it being superior lol. Just good ol lemon drop (garcinia intermedia)

It's the superior form of garcinia brasiliensis, which was confused by some collectors as gardneriana

Is G. Brasiliensis synonym for G. Gardneriana?

No, different species/fruits. G. Gardneriana pictured here:

Similar to intermedia but slightly larger fruits. From reports I've heard, smaller fruit than Achachairu and more tart.

Same fruit pictured next to other small fruits here:

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Anyone Growing/Successfully Fruiting Lemon Drop or Orange Mangosteen Zone 10B ??
« on: November 22, 2017, 11:57:21 AM »
(Lemon drop) Like a weed in full sun here. Smaller tree than Achacha, fruits faster and at smaller tree size. Fruits developing more often than not throughout the year.

Achacha one crop per year and tree needs to be more mature to fruit.

Both appreciate some shade when young.

Our trees are fairly small I planted 3 gals, seeds and whatever size Garcinia I could find.  The Garcinias are extremely hardy, We have a fruiting size Madrono and Achacha but the Imbe was the first to flower  The only fruit we’ve produced is Banana,  Starfruit, Sugar Apple, Sappodilla, Pitomba, Lychee, Mango, Black Sapote.

That's awesome, I got into Garcinias late.
When is your ripening?
Is achacha really as good as some say it is?

Yes :)

No. With Garcinia species, seed is always best. Grafts can work if rootstock is compatible
