The biggest and oldest Russell Sweet tree around is a female about 40 years old. I had a look at the 100s of fruit on this tree today about 3 hrs ago and the biggest were almost 1lb. Here a few to look at.
I now own that property the tree was grown on. today I found at least 15 different medium to large sized garcinia trees(not including purple mangosteen), with thousands of seedlings underneath them. only one tree I was able to identify as achachairu since it had 2 fruits. I need to clear around the trees since they are all shaded from weed trees and that should help them start flowering and fruiting again and I can identify them.

I think you are confused, remember, Raúl sent you a very special seed, which cannot bear fruit because your plant must be small yet...I have a couple of plants that I received from the same batch of your seed and they are still small, By God, look for that plant that you planted because it’s worth gold...... I send you link...

Sytanta Ho Chi Minh city would be the ideal climate for so many of the tropical fruits we look at on here. There are many princesses and mangosteen is not ready to give up the crown as queen I think.
Thank you for the info, what about humdity , How humide is your area? Has it fruited for you ?
Thank you so much for a fast response.
The color is a lot lighter yellow than my achachairu, which are closer to orange. The shape on the photo is also different than my achachairu which are more elongated in shape. Unfortunately in Bolivia they use the common name of achachairu for almost ALL the species of Rheedias (now called garcinias). So it's possible it's a different species.
