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.

On fruit turned yellow, and I plucked it, not taking any chances with the Macaques. I waited for it to turn soft and then I cut it with a knife. The skin is so thin and tough, that one needs a very sharp knife! And surprise! It is one of the best fruits I have eaten!!! Tastes like a good, ripe Mango!

Long time ago I bought seeds from 'Trade Wind Fruits' called as Garcinia madruno. Only when the plants fruited, did I find out that they were G.intermedia!

« on: January 18, 2025, 12:04:25 AM »Did he ever specify what species he thought it was? Bacupari is a name given to multiple different species in the genus, including g. intermedia. The fruit looks like lemon drop to meRaul called G.brasiliensis.

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?

Thank you. Since I found it growing on rocks, it must be Rhaphidophora pertusa.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Salak questions!
« on: September 09, 2024, 12:50:40 AM »Sumalee is a sala and you need both sexes. It is the best thai cultivar but cant cross with S.salacca. Even balis are indos bts. White seeds are dead but brown seeds of any size are ok. In S.wallichiana with a sala level of development 3 loculed fruit produce mostly female trees one and 2 loculed fruit mostly males. The number of flat surfaces on the seed will reveal the number of locules the fruit had.Does the no of locules apply to S.salacca also?

The plant was given to me as just 'Salak'. I tried only a couple of fruits, and both were sour and not crisp and had two locales. I am waiting to see if they turn red.

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?
