Luc's Mexican Achachairu. Lucs Garcinia is really a hit on tropical fruit forums and for a good reason. A great grower in Florida, probably the toughest and hardiest of all the Garcinia (or Rheedia). Seems to prefer light shade, although has been grown in everything from deep shade to full sun. Has handled temperatures in the mid 20s. Trees fruit in 3-6 years from seed.
The fruit is triple the size of Achachairu!
Native to Mexico, Mexican Achachairu or Luc's Garcinia, as it is called, produces bright yellow fruit which are single seeded, typically as large as tennis balls, and have both a better pulp ratio and elegant subacid flavour that is considered superior to that of its much celebrated and close relatives, achacha and mangosteen. Slow growing, attractive tree with a spreading form and large leafed foliage that is waxy and deep emerald green.

Recommended Fertilizer: SUNSHINE C-Cibus - Crop Nutrition Booster
