TGIF y’all. 
Wondering what garcinia tastes most like purple mangosteen that grows in 9b. I love the floral flavor.

Idk if it grows in 9B, but Priniana is close. The taste is as good as mangostana, smaller fruits and thin skin so bruises easy. No other garcinia I have tasted is close to mangostana in sweetness.

All the garcinia’s have been tried in da Bay and it’s a no go. Some people holding out hope for Aichacharu but it ain’t happening. Maybe try some Feijoa and eat the flowers, they have a nice floral taste.

I have tried 3 wild Australian Garcinias. I like G. warrenii,  (sour but a lot less than the Yellow mangosteen.). No others I have tried are much like " The Mangosteen ".

someone tried garcinia sp pacuri?

Highly doubt it. Imbe,  Luc’s and Aichacharu seemed to have the best shot.
I had a 25 gallon Madrono for 4 years in the greenhouse but it needed to move to SD to really have a chance.

Not a Garcinia but I’ve had multiple people tell me that the red hybrid Jaboticaba tastes a lot like Mangosteen.
