The Tropical Fruit Forum

I don’t really know if this is normal but the other two in the same lot are green with the red trim as well. The bottom two leaves have been this way for the past two weeks and have not since changed color. They get plenty of direct sunlight during the day in the greenhouse

I just wanted to get this topic out there because I believe this garcinia has a lot of potential for those who want to zone push. As far as I know, this species has only been sold by Marcus here on the forum and I happened to have the opportunity of buying 6 seeds of the “large fruited” variety. That being said, there is little to no information about this species online with the exception being the information provided by Marcus. He says they are hardy down to -5 C. I can attest to that claim. Without a doubt the most cold hardy garcinia I have come into contact with. Not only that but 3 of the plants are very vigorous, growing even during the winter months here. They have great flood tolerance as well as frost tolerance. The only issue being that I cannot test compatibility as a rootstock nor quality of fruit.
If anyone has information about the Latin name of this species or anything they know about the species I think that would be most invaluable especially for those trying to push the limits with this genus

(Do not tell me they are an achacha; they are clearly not)

I know it’s dark but I need an ID for this plant labeled jackfruit I bought from a local nursery. It is very different from any jackfruit I’ve seen. It’s been outside in 9a temps for over a year. I have my jackfruit next to it if that helps. The jackfruit is on the right while the “jackfruit” is on the left. I was thinking it’s a chempadek or some sort of jackfruit hybrid. No idea

As the title states, I’m looking to buy Adansonia species (seeds, plants or cuttings) I would prefer cuttings

Looking for: (no particular scale of importance)
Adansonia za
Adansonia gregorii
Adansonia grandidieri
Adansonia madagascariensis
Adansonia saurezensis

I could trade cuttings of my other species of Adansonia for other these species as well.

As the title states, I am looking to buy or trade for some seeds or seedlings of this species.
Also willing to fork over some cash for a larger plant.

I have a few prainea limpato seedlings about 6-8 inches tall that I’m wanting to trade. The seeds which I acquired in late February have grown very rapidly.
They are all grown in a greenhouse organically



I’m looking for other seedlings to trade for.
Mainly interested in uncommon garcinias, yellow jabo, plinia edulis, or mammea americana
I can look at all offers or if you have any inquiries pm me
