Congrats! The leaves look small compared to what I grow as madruno and the trees I have eaten from in Puerto Rico. The Puerto Rico fruits were also twice the size of your bigger fruit. But I guess madruno may be a generic name for bumpy garcinias.the trees about 7 years old growing in a 15g pot, it lost maybe 20% of its flowers but the majority turned to fruit, maybe 4 fruit didn’t develop and fell off early. The tree struggled for the first few years before really starting to grow, I’ve always had it outside here in central Florida so I’m sure the climate is keeping it smaller than what it normally would be.
Do you have any idea of how old the tree is? When it flowers, does it produce a bunch of flowers, most of which fall off or does it only produce a few flowers, of which most turn into fruit? My flowering tree and another I know of seem to have male and female flowers.
Congratulations, that is a nice looking plant. Is it in a 25 gallon pot? How tall and wide is it? I have a plant but it is only two feet tall.its like 3 feet tall maybe 2 feet wide in a 15 g pot.

Had my first charichuela fruit in a long time,I neglected that poor tree to long .Now looks very good.Fruit is similar to your round one but lemon shape and larger.Taste very nice.I think the seed was from Adolf Grimals tree.That tree was moved to fruit and spice park where it died(stress and cold winters at that time)These seeds were from one of our South American connects on here, the tree was huge and loaded with fruit that were double the size, I’m sure because of age.
nice Jordan, your place is goin off this season!Right, lovin all this rain. I’ve harvested around 30 types of fruit so far but most is common stuff. You gotta come check it out sometime
