nvm thought you were referring to xanthochymus
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.htmit 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

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.

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