Garcinia Forbesii
Garcinia forbesii, also known as rose kandis, is a small to medium-sized tree native to Southeast Asia, including Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, Papua New Guinea, Singapore, and southern Thailand. In cultivation, it typically grows up to 6 meters, though it can reach 18 meters in the wild. The tree produces round, smooth fruits that range in color from red to white, with edible arils that have a flavor similar to mangosteen. Its dense foliage often hides the straight trunk, and branches grow low to the ground. A dioecious species, Garcinia forbesii has leathery, elliptical evergreen leaves and yellow latex in its inner bark. Male flowers are crimson and grow in clusters, while female flowers are red or orange and appear singly. Both flower types are insect-pollinated. This species thrives in forests up to 1,700 meters in elevation and is suitable for USDA hardiness zone 11.
