Since I started late in this group , I am trying to catch up on the older postings that appeal to me .
I have most of the common Garcinias and Rheedias . All doing very well .
Still missing is the Cherapu , had seeds from Ecuador years ago ...don't know what went wrong ...
One that is a very slow grower is the gardneriana and I remember this being a fruit that I really liked .
I have a G. cochichinensis that is 4 times the size of the gardneriana , same age...
On another note , having tasted quite a few Garcinias , except the ' sweet ' ones all the rest can be categorized between slightly acid / sour going to extremely acid / sour , most do have this pleasant lemony taste .
The now famous achachairu , from La Santa Cruz , Bolivia is a little different , for me it has a ' spicy ' note , to tell you the truth , my wife , in the Achachairu and Luc's Mexican Garcinia tasting contest preferred the Achachairu ......( 4 votes went to the Mexican , 1 to Bolivia but then again she is always contrary ...LOL...)
