G. hombroniana purchase – a strictly dioecious species ? ? ?

[Epicatt2]

Just ordered several seedling of this species.  So, were four seedlings enough? 

I recently read that this species is dioecious but am now wondering whether the species is strictly so, or whether some individuals produce perfect fowers –or maybe in some casses produce flowers of each sex together on one individual?

Enquiring minds and all that rot.

TIA

It is so sour. 4 is definitely plenty.

It is so sour. 4 is definitely plenty.

Apart from the flavor, thanx for the reply, but that nowhere answers my question: 

Is this species strictly dioecious???

Anyone know fer sure?

I grow a lot of garcinias but I don’t know the answer to that.  Some similar species that we grow are either diocious or not.  G. parvafolia is not diocious. G. lateriflora, and g. prainiana are. 
I don’t know anyone who grows hombroniana.

Thanks Peter.

Hopefully one of our TFF members who lives in or is familiar with the area(s) where
G. hombroniana is native to will chime in with something to resolve my question.

Fingers X-ed!

Have heard a lone tree will fruit on its own, but will do better with pollination from another. May take longer to get to this fruiting stage than if it has a pollination partner.

My tree is about 7 - 8 feet. Still now flowers.

I have 2 fruiting trees. And others no fruiting yet, however I never saw any other flowering. So I guess is dioecious

[Chandramohan]

I have a single tree and is fruiting.

Thanx to all for your replies offering your first-hand experiences.

Will make growing this interesting species seem even more promising.

And as to the mentioned tartness or sourness of the fruit, surely there are
certain individuals which produce fruit that is less tart than others, plus if the
fruit is too tart one can easily add a drop or two of Stevia to it.

Cheers!
