Mike Tr starts with ... What used to be Rheedia is now Garcinia and many of us have eaten achachas which are known as achachairus in south America.We have talked about these in past threads.There are lots of other good species and many people in Australia have seedlings of these. The big guns are, Luc's mexican Madrono especially de monte variety G.macrophylla G.magnifolia G.gardneriana G.sp bicuda G.acuminata Also notable are G.brasiliensis and G.intermedia. The picture is of Garcinia sp. bicuda which like achacha is an undescribed species.I have 3 of these species growing as modest sized seedlings now.

Mike Tr says... The sweet fuzzy skinned madrono might be at least up with achachairu but not the standard madrono.Luc's Mexican has the reputation of being the biggest and the best of the American Garcinia.G.gardneriana is held in high regard by many with an attractive fruit and it is a heavy bearer. | About the Author Mike Tr Cairns 8th October 2014 7:27pm #UserID: 8322 Posts: 614 View All Mike Tr's Edible Fruit Trees |
