Madrono lindero

[arvind]

Are there anyone here growing or had tasted  madrono lindero an undescribed garcinia sp from Jim west' farm in Ecuador?.I got to know about this particular garcinia after visiting his website.From the description it sounds like great fruit

Im sure Jim can relate that this particular Garcinia has a generous flesh yield and that places it in a desirable category.

Yes I've seen the photo at your website.There you mentioned about it originating from tropical South America.Exactly where is that and how many years will it first fruit after being panted ?

[guaycuyacu]

NW Ecuador.  5-6 yrs?

NW Ecuador means its native to the choco rainforest or maybe moist forest on the Andean mountains.if it grows at your place it'll sure do well in my place

I would say this species is one of the best Ecuadorian members of the genus to try. SE Asian lowland tropics has a different climate from the western Amazon especially where a little altitude is involved even if latitudes roughly correspond.
