Garcinia Bahiensis
Garcinia bahiensis is a rare tropical fruit tree native to the Atlantic Forest region of Brazil, particularly found in areas like Itacaré, Bahia. This slow to moderate-growing species typically reaches up to 6 meters (around 19 feet) in height, but it can be kept much smaller in cultivation, especially when grown in containers. The tree thrives in clay soil and humid, tropical environments, making it well-suited to warm climates or protected greenhouse conditions. Its attractive foliage and manageable size make it a desirable option for collectors of exotic fruit trees.
The fruit of Garcinia bahiensis has a green skin that remains green even when fully ripe, concealing a cottony white pulp that is both sweet and slightly acidic—pleasantly balanced and refreshing. It's a lesser-known cousin of more famous Garcinia species, such as mangosteen, and is gaining attention for its unique taste and adaptability. The seeds are highly viable and begin germinating quickly under the right conditions.
Seeds are shipped in packs of 1, shipped in humid vermiculite.
