Tropical Fruit Discussion / Garcinia kurzii/Garcinia speciosa
« on: June 24, 2025, 07:50:07 AM »
I recently happened to taste the fruits of this Garcinia. Even though this Garcinia has been merged with G.celebica, I found the fruit to be quite sweet, with a hint of sourness.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Russel's Garcinia
« on: May 18, 2025, 12:52:34 AM »
These are the first fruits on my Russel's Garcinia. I got the scions from 'Steve' in Aus. and grafted them on G.xanthocymus root stocks. One male and one female plants flowered this year and I hand pollinated the female flowers with the male ones.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Garcinia flowers
« on: May 18, 2025, 12:47:22 AM »
These are the male flowers on a plant grown from seeds, I received as G.malaccensis. Once the leaves matured on the plant, I
was sure that this was not G.malaccensis. I bought the seeds from a seller on this forum.
If anyone has seen flowers like this on a Garcinia, please be kind enough to let me know.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Bacupari ?
« on: January 17, 2025, 12:27:33 AM »
This fruit is on a plant from seeds I received from Raul, as 'Bacupari'. The fruit is same size/slightly smaller than the fruits on my Garcinia intermedia. Sweetness is same as lemondrop. But the leaves are different/bigger. Is it really a different Garcinia?

I have this Salak plant with three bunches of fruits. When I tried to eat one fruit, it is so sour, that G. gummigutta is very sweet in comparison. What could be the reason?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / First fruits on my Pitomba
« on: May 29, 2022, 04:43:03 AM »
These are the first fruits on my Pitomba plant. Thanks to 'achetadomestica' for selling me the seeds. I find the fruits very nice and sweet when they are harvested when they are Orange in color. I am very happy for having got a nice fruit! I had tasted some Pitomba at Fairchild Botanical Gardens and had found the fruits to be mediocre. But the ones I tasted in 'Kampong', Fairchild's old home, were large and excellent.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Red jabo
« on: September 14, 2021, 12:10:40 AM »
I have 2 six year old Red jabo plants in 12 gal pots which have been fruiting well. I have been noticing for some time, there are no new leaves on both, even though flowers have set fruits. Is it because they are root bound? What are the signs of root bound trees? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / No chill loquat varieties.
« on: August 23, 2021, 05:30:20 AM »
Are there any Loquat varieties that do not require chill hours? I am asking this because, I had planted some loquat seedlings some six or seven years ago, and on learning that they need chill hours, neglected them. But suddenly last week, I found fruits on one of the trees. They were almost ripe, but the bats beat me , so that I could get only three fruits. They are small, the size of a kumquat, but sweet with slight sourness.

« on: November 15, 2020, 11:21:48 PM »
This is one lemon tree I have marcotted. Now I am thinking, is it possible to form another set of roots a foot down? Does anyone have any experience doing this. This tree gives me lemon 365 days in a year.
