I had a big "achacha", Garcinia humilis, but I neglected it and it died.. 

Anyway I bought another and it is growing fast.  I might get a couple more. 

I also have "African mangosteen" ("Imbe"), Garcinia livingstonei, You need both a male and a female.  The female tend to have more rounded leaves, and the female, more pointy.

My "Lemon Drop" mangosteen died, but I will get a couple more.

And I have a badly neglected "White mangosteen." It is supposed to be a more robust purple mangosteen. I don't really know what it is.  the leaves are much longer than typical mangosteens, and it is truly much hardier.  I have had it for several years now.  It was growing okay but some skunks chewed on it and it is slowly coming back.  I am going to get a couple more regular purple mangosteens.  They will grow here, but they can be so slow..

Anybody else growing Garcinia's?  I will post some pictures.  I just got little starter plants, so my trees are only a couple of feet tall
