David starts with ... I was given what was said to be mudu some time ago but the leaves look so much like Yellow mangosteen, how can you tell the diff. If anyone has Mundu please let me know i would be interested in getting one.Daleys have it on there fruit list but never seen it for sale. The tree I have is only 6ins high so only small.Thanks if anyone is looking at this. | About the Author David Springwood 18th January 2016 7:58pm #UserID: 1961 Posts: 670 View All David's Edible Fruit Trees |
Bangkok says... Mundu is Maphut in Thai = มะพูด Google for that and you'll see video's and pictures. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQaG5BxovEc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5L_n5Ompalo I'm planting my Maphut in full soil now and hang some plastic snakes in it because the squirrels like to eat the fruits allready. It's also easy to graft other garcinia;s into it. I have one with achacha, lemon drop and purple mangosteen on it now. The shape of those tree's does look different though, mine doesn't have so many leaves and more/longer sidebranches then others on the web. My tree was grown in a small pot for 10 years though, maybe that made it look like this. Also i don't know how they grew it since it has multiple rootstocks which are still taped. Even in Thailand it's very hard to find this tree fruiting. Purple mangosteen is far more popular. 6 inch tall is not much, they are sold here for 3 au$ and a metre tall. Maybe you can graft it onto another rootstock. Since when do Aussies use inches? | About the Author Bangkok Thailand 19th January 2016 5:11pm #UserID: 11594 Posts: 370 View All Bangkok's Edible Fruit Trees |

Bangkok says... David you can always graft a branch of another dulcis on your tree. Even it's not a dulcis i guess. When i transported my dulcis (40 km on a motorcycle through Bangkok) I had a few broken branches. I grafted one of those (with flowerbuds) onto my other dulcis and that's growing now. They are easy to graft. Just for laughs i 'm grafting any garcinia i can find on the other tree now, also i connect all the rootstocks together to make it a very special tree. The achacha is allready flushing on the dulcis tree. | About the Author Bangkok Thailand 21st January 2016 2:00pm #UserID: 11594 Posts: 370 View All Bangkok's Edible Fruit Trees |
Bangkok says... Garcinia xanthochymus is also called mundu (moendoe) but i just bought one of those here in Bangkok and it looks different then the "real" garcinia dulcis.... I have no idea about which is the real mundu, but maphut is the tree which looks like the one from Joshua in his video. Also there's a garcinia called maphuut in Thailand, maybe it's the same i don't know. I'm collecting all garcinia's i can find to make a multiple stem achacha tree with different rootstocks. Let's see what happens with it. | About the Author Bangkok Thailand 24th January 2016 4:42pm #UserID: 11594 Posts: 370 View All Bangkok's Edible Fruit Trees |

Bangkok says... See that's how easy it can be. I saw many garcinia dulcis (maphut) tree's for sale today and they had big fruit but still green. I still couldn't taste one. But they all had multiple rootstocks like mine, and tree's from 150 cm had fruit allready. They said it were the same rootstocks. 2 or 3 of them together. | About the Author Bangkok Thailand 29th January 2016 10:44pm #UserID: 11594 Posts: 370 View All Bangkok's Edible Fruit Trees |
