Cultivation Details

A dioecious species, both male and female forms usually need to be grown if fruit and seed are required. At least some dioecious Garcinia species, however, are able to produce fertile seed even in the absence of fertilization (asexual reproduction). Such seeds would be expected to be genetically identical to the parent[]

Edible Uses

The yellow fruit is sometimes eaten[146 1808]. The globose-oblong fruit is a fleshy berry 30 - 40mm x 8 - 15mm across containing a few large seeds covered with a juicy creamy-white pulp[].

Medicinal

None known
