Garcinia acuminata F1

A unique, carefully developed F1 tropical hybrid, combining amazing taste, aesthetics, and high plant vigor. This hybrid of Garcinia madrono is one of the rarest and most beautiful tropical trees in the world and belongs to the same prestigious family as the mangosteen. The variety was developed to be more tolerant of climate change and more productive in forestry and agroecological conditions. The evergreen tree, rich in glossy green leaves, reaches a height of 4 to 8 meters when mature, with an attractive, rounded crown that makes it ideal for home gardens and food forests. The fruits of this F1 hybrid are stunning in shape and taste: golden spherical with a relatively thick skin and creamy white flesh that is rich and juicy. The taste is refreshing and rare, a balanced blend of acidity and sugars with a mangosteen-like flavor, enhanced by a luxurious lemony note. The flowers are greenish-white, hermaphrodite, and fragrant, and are produced throughout the season in warm climates. The tree grows slowly but steadily, showing high tolerance to various soils as long as they are well-drained. It can tolerate temperatures down to 10°C but prefers warmer climates of 10–38°C. It requires regular watering without overwatering and prefers partial shade with the possibility of growing in full sun. This hybrid is well suited to organic farming and sustainable agricultural systems. It is also used in reforestation and biodiversity projects, and attracts attention in private gardens thanks to its elegant appearance.
