Wtb garcinia starter plants especially Garcinia madruno the smallish yellow lemon drops.

I have both seeds and small plants of the "bumpy" madruno if that is the one you are looking for (g. acuminata).
Send a PM.

First of all the one true Mangosteen

Garcinia mangostana

G. acuminata -
G. brasiliensis -
G. cowa
G. humilis
G. kola -
G. livingstonei -
G. macrophylla

Get ready to start watching some paint dry and water boil...these things grow slowwww in the sub-tropics. I would recommend Luc’s for cold hardiness and easiness to grow. The only fruit I’ve eaten out of the Garcinia’s is Purple Mangosteen and Achacha. They were both really tasty with Achacha having a floral thing going on (like in some lychees) and purple mangosteen having a nice mellow citrusy flavor without the tart...Good luck in your search, I have some extra seedlings of seashore mangosteens in 1 gallons, and maybe a couple of other Garcinia’s laying around...if interested lemme know

I have a friend who has a lemon drop that produces a few fruit but not much. But it gives me hope

G. prainiana is the best garcinia species I've tasted. Better than purple mangosteen in my humble opinion. Try to get seeds or seedlings of those. My female fruited at 6ft

Garcinia prainiana is worthy as well. Would rate it higher then the G. brasiliensis I have had.
Grow mainly fruits, vegetables, and herbs.
