That's great to see.  That is why I love Intermedia.  It starts to fruit at such a small size and you only need one.  Great variety to start with.

Sorry to here that you lost most of your Garcinias.  In pots you need excellent draining soil to prevent root rot.  Keep the soil dry during winter.  The tall tree pots help a lot.   They let the water accumulate at the bottom and give the roots more room to be in low moisture soil.

Check the post “Growing Luc’s Garcinia in Southern California”, or something close to that. I have posted some of my experiences of growing the plant here in coastal Long Beach CA.

Hi Robert, I responded to your private message but I’ll respond here also since sometimes the private messages don’t work. I accept PayPal and Venmo. Send me your address and I will send you a shipping quote. But for shipping within California it should be less than $15.

Thanks
Bill

Pacuri is very cold hardy and fast growing for a Garcinia. Luc’s will take temperatures into the 30’s no problem. I don’t know how low both of these will go.

These are all seedlings.  As far as I'm concerned that is the best way to propagate Garcinia.  There are just too many unknowns about rootstock compatibility or delayed compatibility issues.

Southerncatropicals, that is a good looking plant.  I is probably planted in the perfect spot with mostly shade.  I would recommend other fertilizers in addition to the fish emulsion to get a more balanced fertilizer.

My plant flowered three times this summer!  It has at least two fruit on it now.  I need to take a better look at it because it may have more.

This post confuses me.  You keep calling this Pacuri.  Is this the same as the Garcinia sp. Pacuri that you have sold seeds for before?  Or is this something different?

Thanks,
Bill

In AeAe a lower ph will cause more variegation. Maybe the same is true for the Variegated Florida.

Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / Paggi banana plants for sale, pickup or ship
« on: October 13, 2025, 01:43:52 PM »
Hi all, I have several Paggi banana plants for sale. I am going to stop growing this variety and I would like to spread the genetics around. This is a very rare variety. For me this variety really struggles with my cool mild summers. I think it needs to be grown in areas with more heat. Such as Riverside, Corona or anywhere more than five miles from the coast. I'm 2.5 miles from the beach and my summers are mild. The plant grows very slow for me and produces medium size bunches of very good fruit. People growing this variety in areas with a lot of heat, ie Texas, Florida, Hawaii etc, report that it grows and tastes great. Several have reported it being their favorite banana variety. I received this variety from a college professor who obtained it from the USDA. I have 5 gallon plants for sale for $30 each. These are pictured below. I also have some 1.5 gallon plants available for $30 each. THESE I CAN SHIP.










Thanks,
Bill
