Mexican Garcinia Live Plants (Luc’s) (Garcinia mexicana)

 

 

This garcinia species is native to Mexico, where it goes by the name limoncillo. It was initially made available to fruit producers by Luc Vleeracker. This slow-growing tree prefers shade during its first few years. It has medium-sized fruits that ripen to orange-yellow fruit, which is said to be of outstanding quality and contain both sweet and lemony-tart components. As the seed is quite little, there is a lot of flesh.
