I had gotten a nice one from HawaiianTropicalPlants a couple years ago, https://www.store.hawaiiantropicalplants.com/Garcinia-gummi-gutta-Gamboge-4x4x10inch-tree-pot-1638.htm

it was fairly large size and healthy.   Seems they still carry them but it says "back ordered", you could try emailing the seller he should be responsive. 

Can I ask what the attraction of gamboge is, though?  I ordered it when I was initially collecting all the garcinias I could find and didn't read up much on it, seems like it isn't really for fresh eating, maybe cooking/medicine

Sorry for the mix up was refering to gamboge garcinia xanthochymus.
It's going to be used as rootstock. The fruit doesn't taste too good. Way too sour. I hear it's used in curries and stuff not for eating out of hand.

oh yeah I forgot gamboge is a name applied to a few different things, nm

I agree- it’s super sour, but pretty tasty.  Eaten ripe it’s kinda like the flavor of a super sour green mango to me, but the texture of a ripe mango.

Great texture, taste to me is like a lemon warhead candy, makes you pucker but has enough sweetness to satisfy
