Garcinia Intermedia Review - Weird Fruit Explorer Ep. 206 

KennyT good tip.

Can confirm, I know that tree KennyT. I don't think this is a lemon drop based on the size and description of the fruit. Maybe it is a hybrid or something else?

So if you have the means to go to Florida...

Dude hell yeah, very useful info. When does it fruit?

That tree across from the large olosapo is labeled rheedia, garcinia sp. The fruit are smaller and more orange-colored. I found it with just a few fruit left on Jun. 11, 2020

I think it’s actually Garcinia gardneriana. Looks a LOT like it.

hehe tell you what, I have at least 3 different varieties of garcinia intermedia trees myself. One has extremely thin transparent skin orange flesh and is oval shaped, the second one is also oval shaped and with orange flesh but much bigger and the third one is round with white flesh and with thick skin. Even th trees are very different, the ones with small fruits are very thick bushes, the ones with bigger fruits are also bigger trees with bigger leaves and the ones with round fruits are much less dense in leaves. But in their structure and leaf shape you can notice they all share the same structures. What I've learnd about this species is it is incredibly variable both in fruit and in the tree, you can easily think they're different species when they're all the same.

Jen Thompson so glad to hear it. Let me know how the trees come along :)

I know!! I cant find any to order..

Learn to turn yourself into a pretzel and figure out how to advertise that? XD Pretty crazy how all these other countries want to see that, given me ideas myself honestly xDDD

Tesla TC there's plenty more on the way :)

I am from Argentina and grow garcinia brasilensis, 1m tall (or, we think that it is brasilensis, but it could be intermedia too...), at Misiones they call it pacurí, or bacuparí... I hope I can taste it in 3 years or so...

Ah, that's interesting. I am originally from Cordoba province, and my mother's family was from Catamarca, so we never saw it, at least not sold commercially. My dad's family is from Misiones and Formosa. I haven't been but he tells us there's a little more variety there, but he's never told me of any garcinias.

cerverg I did! Its coming in a few weeks :)

Thanks!

Natalie A hope you find something good!

Almost sounded like he was channeling Jimmy Durante.

Some of the fruits already covered are interspecies hybrids.

Where are you in karnataka?

No Never, Thanks for the offer! I don't think you'd be able to legally get anything out this way though. They'd just incinerate it once it got to customs

Ian Woolf Wait, that fruit is found on Mexico. I would be surprised that it would be found in Bolivia. Luc's Garcinia flesh also seems to have a much thicker flesh than this one. G. Vleerackeri is just a tentative name, not officially validated if it indeed is a new species.

Thanks, I learn so much here! Luc's garcinia is about to be available in Australia, so I've been looking into them. I'll look for these also.

Ian Woolf Oh, imported by fruit fanatics at tropicalfruitforum.com huh? Lucky Aussies, you already have the achacha with you.

Perhaps it could be the Garcinia macrophylla PUNGARA

only way to get seeds from me is through Patreon and even then its not with any consistency, its difficult to send these legally

manihot that sounds good!

Achacha wins for me. I have heard of Luc's but haven't had the pleasure of trying one yet

hammond vanhoren Woah, what fruit is that? Isn't that simply worms in fruit? Just kidding

hammond vanhoren Hopefully I'll find one soon :)

No, he doesn't plant them. He could send the seeds to me, but he doesn't.

Trench, I send seeds to patreon supporters. But it's a lot of red tape sending seeds internationally

Do you have a P.O.Box? I would love to help support your work (via patrion),but i try not to put to much personal stuff out online... @@WeirdExplorer

Not that dry. About the same as a bacupari or achacha

could be! it was in the Bolivian Amazon I believe so very northern Bolivia.

Probably in August.

@@griffinc3263 Where can I buy rose apples?

@@gailfeddern7798 Not sure, sorry

Nope rose apple is different
