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.
Mike 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...http://tropicalfruitforum.com/index.php?topic=21195.msg259498#msg259498
Syntata, Yes that's it.Mike, the tree is very big, you should read the whole link, you will check it ... I also want to tell you that 2 months after he sent the seeds, a category 5 cyclone swept the island, I don't know if that only tree survived.
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.

Anyone growing or fruiting G. macrophylla in Florida? Supposedly hardy to 31F.

Supposedly hardy to 31F.Yep, they grow well but like a sheltered area to grow up and out of. Big lengthy tree, long leaves. Naples botanical garden had a 30ft fruiting specimen before Irma took it out in 2017. That tree was already 20ft tall and about as wide when it first produced. I have a couple around 15ft and they probably need another year or two until they flower.
