Growth—
A dioecious species, both male and female forms usually need to be grown if fruit and seed are required[1]. 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[2]
