Mike Tr says... Madrono is Garcinia madruno and fruit are quite large being 5 to 7cm long and can have quite rough skin depending on the variety.They are more tropical than small fruited G.brasiliensis or G.intermedia which have small fruit.I am not sure that any true madronos are in Australia.In Sydney G.gardneriana,achachairu and Luc's Mexican would be the ones to try and get as they are good quality and not too tropical. | About the Author Mike Tr Cairns 28th October 2014 2:48pm #UserID: 8322 Posts: 614 View All Mike Tr's Edible Fruit Trees |

Mike Tr says... Foliage and new growth would help also and I'll forward pix to the experts.Could be macrocarpa,magnifolia,sp.bicuda or one of the big fruiting others from that neck of the woods.Madrono will be broken into a few species soon with some much bigger fruited and sweeter than others. Trikus, hit Kerry up for Borneo seeds and I can swap them for some real eye popping stuff that might surprise you.I have a need....a need for seed. | About the Author Mike Tr Cairns 31st October 2014 8:54am #UserID: 8322 Posts: 614 View All Mike Tr's Edible Fruit Trees |
Mike Tr says... Trikus, Looks at the seed sellers pictures from Ecuador and Peurto Rico of species like G.madruno and you'll be all over it like a pitbull on a poodle.I have seedling of a few and can compare.As I said wait until people are drunk or create a diversion, snatch a bunch of seeds and make a getaway and we can talk turkey. | About the Author Mike Tr Cairns 31st October 2014 8:59am #UserID: 8322 Posts: 614 View All Mike Tr's Edible Fruit Trees |
