garcinia prainiana seedling image request.
« on: November 20, 2016, 09:33:31 PM »
If anyone has pictures of garcinia prainiana seedlings just popping up can you please post. I moved a bunch of pots indoors when Hurricane Mathew came around, regrettably I only labeled the first pot in every row. Had a couple friends help, they didn't really understand the importance of keeping track. My fault for running out of label tags. :(

There are a few other species in the same situation. To the forum experts - do you recommend I post pics of what's popping up and request an ID in individual posts? or keep to one post, and list possible species in question?
I am normally extremely thorough about labeling, this is driving me nuts!

Hi Acoff87,

I don't have a picture, but Cherapu (garcinia prainiana) does have a unique look to them. The new growth is a very dark maroon, and the leaves have deep distinctive veining...It may help to post a picture of your plants and hopefully you can get them ID'ed.

I'm not an expert...but yes post some pictures..and I'm sure you'll get a few ID'ed.

Ps. And don't worry...it happens. I've lost labels, forgotten and even had my pets use them as a pull toy.. ;D

The first leaves are dark green and round, different than most garcinia species with pointed leaves. You'll be able to tell when they sprout. Post a pic here when you think they have sprouted just for verification.
