Garcinia pseudoguttifera
Garcinia pseudoguttifera
Safety & Hazards
None known
Cultivation Details
Plants can flower and produce fruit all year round[1]. A dioecious species, both male and female forms usually need to be grown if fruit and seed are required[2]. 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[3]
Propagation
Seed - we have no specific information on this species, but the seed of most members of the genus can be slow to germinate, even if sown fresh, often taking 6 months or more[PFAF].
