This particular Garcinia species hails from Mexico, where it goes by the local name "limoncillo." It was introduced to fruit growers thanks to Luc Vleeracker. This slow-growing tree has a preference for shaded conditions during its initial years. The medium-sized fruits it bears ripen to a delightful orange-yellow hue and are renowned for their excellent quality, featuring a harmonious blend of both sweet and zesty, lemony-tart components. Furthermore, these fruits are notable for their relatively large amount of flesh, as they house a relatively small seed.
Commonly referred to as Limocillo or Mexican Mangosteen, this species is known scientifically as Luc's Garcinia Mexicana. It typically starts blooming and fruiting within 6 to 7 years and is generally associated with a moderate level of maintenance. Its unique flavor and characteristics make it a prized addition to the array of fruits originating from the diverse landscapes of Mexico.
