It seems like info is sketchy on this species. How large are the seeds (is there a good pulp to seed ratio)? How does the flavor compare with mamoncillo? -- one source I see says it is sweeter.

The flesh/seed ratio it would be like a Rambutan probably the flavor is the same than mamoncillo but sweeter and no astringency at all; yes I know very few info on this species lot of people would think is Bijugatus but is not as Im familiar with two of them; perhaps the real name is not even M. Oliviformis I just see it with that name in the PDF of fruits of that state but in other places they corelate melicoccus oliviformis with talisia oliviformis(which is another tree from sud america with yellow fruits) or with the most known Mel. bijugatus

How big is Guayas fruit compared to the normal mamoncillo fruit size ?.

Lilith-vzla · « **Reply #4 on:** June 17, 2015, 08:29:28 AM »

It looks like a cross between Talisia oliviformis and Melicoccus bijugatus.

yes !!!! I think you nail it! For years I have been tryng to ID this one with very few info; you could be right perhaps is an hibrid cause in the area of guayas theres also Bijuggatus trees.....

druss · « **Reply #8 on:** June 18, 2015, 01:18:30 AM »

Interesting, talisia oliviformus and melicoccus oliviformus seem to be synonyms. Considering both are dioecious its possible they hybridised. Talisia esculenta seems to overlap with melicoccus bijugatus and I cant find any record of them hybridising though.

Berto · « **Reply #9 on:** June 18, 2015, 09:22:34 AM »

Interesting fruit! The leaves look like talisia esculenta's leaves. Maybe, another hybrid ready to be propagated.
Thank you for the information!

A while back I got an entire box full of Mamoncillo sent to me from Puerto Rico, the fruits taste wise were one of the best fruits I have encountered, texture wise like a really stringy, fibrous mango. The seeds look like a tiny avocado seed and are propagated similarly. The trees grow slow for me at least, a two year old specimen being only 6 inches tall. I would go for it if I were you guys, they are quite interesting and are somewhat rare.

Hi they are quiet adaptable, they grow from tropical Chiapas all the way up to outside the tropics Tuxpan, Veracruz were it gets down in winter to 5/7 Celsius....

Here they grow fast, probably around 4 to 5 years from seed, you probably has the same weather than here at sea level, don't know how much change with the elevation but don't think alot.....

There's a description of the taste above, they are sweet with a little tang, the season is April....

arvind · « **Reply #23 on:** November 23, 2016, 09:48:01 PM »

If it is sweet and with a tang then what comes to my mind would be mango,pineapple and oranges.I will place an order when the fruit is in season

Viking Guy · « **Reply #24 on:** December 10, 2016, 01:09:58 PM »

Any chance someone has the tree grafted and for sale?

If not, I may want some seeds also. How long on average before the seedlings begin fruiting?
