Larissa says... The acha cha is sold in Sydney for $6 kg. Bought some the other day from Fresh World, Maroubra. As Murray said, tastes like mangosteen. The taste is also a bit like cherry guava. However, there are only 2 little bits of flesh and seeds are huge whereas mangosteen is a bigger fruit and seeds can be smaller. Mangosteen shell/skin can stain like cherries. | About the Author Larissa 1st February 2010 12:18pm #UserID: 3324 Posts: 1 View All Larissa's Edible Fruit Trees |

Edward says... In reply to Che's question: I planted four seeds from fruit bought from Harris' and after 4 months I am finally seeing small shoots emerging from all four. So it looks like they do germinate but extremely slowly, and I suspect the growth rate will be equally slow. I wonder how they manage over winter since temperatures can be quite low here though I don't expect frost. | About the Author Edward3 Sydney 31st March 2010 8:27pm #UserID: 1655 Posts: 172 View All Edward3's Edible Fruit Trees |

murray says... seeds are very hard to germinate i have tried various methods and different ph soils they are still viable one of my very many seeds has split and is slowly growing roots but this is very slow in my greenhouse now hoping to imitate its original environment where it comes from they are green on the inside of the husk around shell which forms when covered with airated moist soil note if seed is left above the soil line it may go mouldy and die | About the Author murray new lambton heights 11th April 2010 10:54am #UserID: 3311 Posts: 10 View All murray's Edible Fruit Trees |

Edward says... Thought people might like to see how my Achacha seedling looks after several months. This is the "largest" of the 4 seedlings and is only about 12 cm tall. The next one is only 4 cm tall and no leaves yet. The other two are barely coming up. So... patience is certainly required for this plant.

Rev says... Mine look just like that they germinate just like mangosteen evenly and yes about 4 months all you do is spit the seed into a pot with 30-40% coir and the rest riversand and put it under a bench where itsll be kept from fully drying out but not too wet and then you just ignore it till they are ready lots of seeds are like this Avo, Coffee, Kola nut and man Burdekin doesnt get frost really but it does get quite nippy in winter at night. It has a long dry season but humidity stays relatively high in the dry season Its an alright fruit. nice, if its cheap enough. But itll have to compete in a small market for sharp tasting fruits, and kiwi has that on volume, taste and price. Id like to see it as a backyard fruit, street tree. i bought mine at rustys markets, a bag of them for $2 | About the Author Rev Townsville 7th May 2010 6:09pm #UserID: 1806 Posts: 359 View All Rev 's Edible Fruit Trees |

John Mc says... Hey Grant, The fruits should be hitting the shops any time soon. I missed out last year due to no fruit shop within kooee selling them. I have since found a shop, at a considerable distance from me, and can't wait to try the fruit and get some seeds germinating as well. Haris Farm Markets sold them last year, so my hopes are on them this year as well. | About the Author JohnMc1 16th December 2010 4:49pm #UserID: 2743 Posts: 2043 View All JohnMc1's Edible Fruit Trees |

BJ says... From the Achacha growers' email: 'During a lull in the rains, picking has been taking place at Palm Creek Plantation. Fruit will be available in parts of Brisbane and Sydney from Monday 24 January. Victoria will be a little later ? probably the first week of February.' I think I'll have to buy a 4kg box this year as there arent many reliable stockists on the north side of Brisbane. | About the Author Theposterformerlyknownas Brisbane 20th January 2011 8:09am #UserID: 3270 Posts: 1552 View All Theposterformerlyknownas's Edible Fruit Trees |

Merilyn says... Yes, I saw an item in the ABC online news this afternoon Fri 11 Feb,where these fruit trees fared well in Cyclone Yasi (Cat 5) south of Townsville, it would have been cat 3 - 4 winds in this area. ABC News Friday February 11, 2011 (For more news visit ABC News Online at http://abc.net.au/news/) *New tropical fruit stands up to cyclone* The shops in Townsville are not really back to normal yet with many lines being unavailable, though there were longans (seeds easily germinated too) in Woolworths Fairfield Waters Townsville yesterday. I will keep my eyes open for this new fruit. | About the Author Merilyn Townsville 11th February 2011 6:00pm #UserID: 4775 Posts: 18 View All Merilyn's Edible Fruit Trees |

fruitist says... You seem to grow some real exotics. No, I don't grow them myself. Next time I am in Borneo, I will send them some seeds to you. I only sent them to Brazil and other collectors around the world. Will be in KL next January defintely and Kuching in next April.

BJ says... The last thing I heard was that he wasnt sending seeds because Larry took out many trees and the survivors werent producing well in the aftermath. Though that was from his blog in 2009. I dont like my chances after Yasi. But if you talk to him and find out that he does still send seed, then I'd be more than happy to pay to get them from him, as it saves the messing about with customs etc. Back to the achachairu, the growers did say that they were ready to work with the DPI on the Sunshine Coast to try to breed fruit with a better flesh-seed ratio, so that will be a huge step forward. Also, they said that this years crop was a little less sweet than normal as there was too much rain. So perhaps the fruit will perform well out of the tropics, where the rain lavels are usually lower... | About the Author Theposterformerlyknownas Brisbane 15th February 2011 12:19pm #UserID: 3270 Posts: 1552 View All Theposterformerlyknownas's Edible Fruit Trees |

fruitist says... Ok. I didn't know DC has not been selling much seeds after cyclone Larry. I have a few different Garcinia from Mexico, Florida's Fruit and Spice Park, Bill Whitman's place, etc. I will try to graft them onto my Mundu tree this year. I was re-reading some emails Antonio Morschbacker (a famous Brazillian collector) sent me back in 2006 re Achachairu and other Garcinia. May be the grower may want to talk to Bryan B in Puurto Rico who is very experienced with Achachairu. But I think BB would charge him for advice. | About the Author 15th February 2011 2:20pm #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

John Mc says... The easiest way is to wait till Daleys have them ready to sell. Look here http://www.daleysfruit.com.au/false-Garcinia-humilis.htm Put your name down and Daleys will contact you when they are ready. Otherwise you have to wait more than two weeks for the seed to germinate, more like two months or more. They take around 8 years to start fruiting from seed in ideal tropical conditions. I don t like your chances of getting it to fruit in Melbourne, just like me trying to get a soursop to fruit south of Newcastle, we can always live in hope. | About the Author JohnMc1 20th March 2011 10:26pm #UserID: 2743 Posts: 2043 View All JohnMc1's Edible Fruit Trees |

micarle says... xerxes, you will need some heat to germinate these seeds in Melbourne, now that its heading towards winter. Just a heat mat under your seedling pots will do. Hey Fruitist, some of my Baccaurea are from seed and a few are from Bot Ark. This is a pic of Macrophylla, its a Marcotted male plant. These plants have to be over wintered inside for protection.

Mike says... I am told I can't grow them in Cairns and they prefer a drier cooler sub tropical climate.The burdekin is nearly 500km south of here and surprisingly cool and dry.I bet achacha could grow a long way south of central qld.I think they could be a Reedia and are very different in all respects from asian mangosteens.Just as an aside my mangosteen tree is covered in flower buds and it is 6 months out of season. | About the Author Cairns 30th July 2011 9:46pm #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

BJ says... Cant hurt to give it a shot nick. They germinate slowly here - up to 8 months - then shoot up those purple spires, then they seem to grow quite quickly for Garcinia (much faster than dulcis or livingstonii, on par with xanthowhatever, madruno and warenii). I'm not expecting fruit in under 6 years, more likely around 8. I'd imagine that would be pushed out further for you in Vic. | About the Author Theposterformerlyknownas Brisbane 1st August 2011 9:22am #UserID: 3270 Posts: 1552 View All Theposterformerlyknownas's Edible Fruit Trees |

BJ says... I went through Daleys last week and to my surprise there were 2 nice big Achacha trees there in 6lt bags. Must have been left from the last consignment. They look to be 3-4yr old (a bit smaller than the 4yo mangosteen you see in Rusty's), about 2.5 foot tall (apex pruned back) and in a super heavy medium - very heavy sandy loam, but mostly sand. Both looked quite healty, so they have joined my mottley crew. Hopefully, that will knock a few years off my wait for fruit. | About the Author Theposterformerlyknownas Brisbane 11th November 2011 3:04pm #UserID: 3270 Posts: 1552 View All Theposterformerlyknownas's Edible Fruit Trees |

Mike says... My 4 trees only flowered for the first time recently and none set.I have had them from quite a few sources recently but the ones I have now are from Rusty's Market. There were 8 or 9 stalls with them yesterday.Excellent quality mobolos and mammeys were there but the marangs and durians on offer were low quality. | About the Author Cairns 28th January 2012 9:00am #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Mike says... David I have them and they are huge and look tobe of exceptional quality.I was also given a big luang durian perfectly ripe and some R3 rambos.This fellow is a genuine expert and is considering writing a book on tropicalfruits and the history of their introductions tothis country. Chilli I am experiencing a little bit of Aussie post fatigue as I have several more parcels to pack and send.They will be around for quite a while yet and I'll try to get onto it in the next few weeks ok. | About the Author Cairns 28th January 2012 12:40pm #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Mike says... You prompted me to chop the supposed lesser of the 2 types up and I couldn't eat another bite.It is better than most jackfruit at 3kg,it has no latex,is more aromatic than any jackfruit,almost no rag,bright carrot coloured flesh and a richer more complex taste than jackfruit but equally sweet.It is a real winner and the fellows' malaysian wife commented on how good the 2 varieties are.The should be in yards everywhere.The other should be ripe tomorrow and if it is even better I'llbe surprised. | About the Author Cairns 28th January 2012 3:46pm #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Mike says... I have to eat a whopper of a durian tonight and I'll attack the other fruit tomorrow.Maybe 1.5kg is too much to eat at a sitting again so I might have to freeze it.It could be mon/tues before the other one is ripe really so I'll send a shipload of seeds after that.I should send some to BJ. | About the Author Cairns 28th January 2012 8:06pm #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Mike says... I fibbed a bit because the section was 1.5kg and maybe half would be flesh.It comes back to haunt you less than jackfruit and combined with durian smell my garage might alarm the neighbours.Pity you weren't here to help me plough through them.I suppose those are just the sacrifices you have to make to get seeds. | About the Author Cairns 28th January 2012 8:34pm #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Mike says... In the mail ETA Wednesday.All those requested are there and I kept putting other stuff in until it hit 500g.Unfortunately many of the extras I'd hoped to include missed the boat. David type 2 was better,but slightly lower flesh yield,paler orange flesh,but sweeter and the fruits are much larger.It is the best of its type I have ever tried.The plan is to have them on their way on Tuesday,ETA Thursday arv. | About the Author Cairns 29th January 2012 6:15pm #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

David says... Afternoon Mike ,Muchly thankyou, were they both from the same tree or diff trees, ive noticed the seedling soursop, friuts can vary so much in both seedness and flavour ,from the same tree, quite strange. Glad for you, that you managed to source some good trees, and more importantly you made a good friend in the kind man who gave you access to such good fruit.When and if you talk to him again, please pass on my regards and thank him for me .David | About the Author David Brisbane 29th January 2012 6:30pm #UserID: 1961 Posts: 670 View All David's Edible Fruit Trees |

Mike says... The first comment was directed at Nick. They are from very different looking trees and are dramatically dissimilar in their characteristics but the two best I've tried and way better than that trashy imposter cheena.I had to come with gifts in hand and seedlings of the hog plum,Carica monoica,amber jackfruit and some whopping E4 abius to eat lossened the fellows' grip on his prize fruits.The luang durian was delicious as well. | About the Author Cairns 29th January 2012 6:41pm #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

From Achacha town says... Hi, Bolivia has many types of climate,and achacha or achachairu the native name comes from tropical area, where the average temp is 28C and humidity very high. I have been trying to grow this in Adelaide but have not been successful. I will keep trying though as it is the best fruit I grew up eating and I miss it so much. Last week I found the fruit at the central market in Adelaide and I bought 6 kg and they lasted 2 days as one of my kids loved it from the first time he tried it in Santa Cruz , Bolivia.

Mike says... It is just that specific variety that can be registered, irrespective of the species name being correct.The onus would be on the 'owner' of AS-E during the 20 year period to legally pursue those trying to commercially sell that variety,and prove it is that variety.It would be pretty hard if they outcrossed or there were other seeds or varieties in the country.I can't figure if the rights of the name achacha are also registered.It is really a recently concocted common name. | About the Author Cairns 25th February 2012 9:10pm #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

AchaGirl says... I don't know the specific or the fine details of the protection they have but it is something to be careful of, especially since they are trying to establish themselves as a commercial farm for this fruit. As for the name Achacha is an abriviation of Achachryu which is what they are called by the locals in Bolivia. | About the Author Sydney 26th February 2012 5:02pm #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Mike says... AchaGirl,the main concern is that PBR could be used for more than the protection of varieties produced in australia and rewarding breeder efforts.If it rewards people just for bringing in superior varieties and negotiating our quarantine system then PBR is not the right name.With our paucity of good varieties in many fruits it could be quite an advantage. | About the Author Cairns 26th February 2012 5:37pm #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

friends with the achacha farm owner says... Hi Bj yes we have abbreviated the name but thats just for marketing. It took 11 months negotiating with the Bolivian government to get permission 12 years ago now to be able to grow them here and to my knowledge no one else has the farm owners permission go grow and sell seedlings | About the Author 28th February 2012 9:00pm #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

BJ says... I understand what Bruce and the Achacha crew have done. I wouldnt consider selling fruit or seedlings purely out of respect for the efforts they are putting into trying to establish and introduce a good tropical/subtropical fruit into our very boring market, PBR notwithstanding. Certainly not easy, especially when the main retailers are putting out shrivelled old ones to introduce to the public (looking at you Woolworths!). I'm just curious as to how a seedling raised species is granted that status, which I thought was for superior selections of plants that are vegetatively propagated. My wee plants wouldnt be in the business of bearing anything for a good 6 years anyways, and even then, I like the fruit too much to have a thought of selling them. | About the Author Theposterformerlyknownas Brisbane 28th February 2012 10:50pm #UserID: 3270 Posts: 1552 View All Theposterformerlyknownas's Edible Fruit Trees |

Jenny says... yes these are mine, I have one polyembryonic out of this lot, and one has a split stem but look at the slow ones on the right, and they were all planted the same time! How does pollination go down the track does anyone know? Do you need a male tree and a female tree? And if so I suppose you can't tell what they are until they actually do flower?

Mike says... David yes there are dozens of types of breafruit spread throughout pacific islands.They vary a good deal in form and more than likely cold tolerance also.Marangs are not quite as variable in form but are also likely to vary in cold tolerance as they are grown to the northern phillipines.I think breadfruit and marang would generally have similar cold tolerances.Getting the right type of each might be the key. | About the Author Cairns 10th June 2012 11:01pm #UserID: 5418 Posts: 1438 View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Mike says... Amanda I give away boxes of fruit and fan seeds through the community already.I draw the line at pursuing people and thrusting produce upon them.My niece took lots of seeds from me to her school and quite a few schools around are growing stuff that came from my garden as cuttings or seeds. Bhut jolokias would be the perfect plant for schools.

Mike says... I have been told a Garcinia enthusiast that the Australian achachas are one of four types (a subtropical form) of their species which is still undescribed.It is not the best variety and the species is not humilis,laterflore or latifolia and not confined to Bolivia.On the Brazilian side there are also other varieties of this species.In the paticular species group that it belongs in, Lucs mexican garcinia is the elite one and some G.brasiliensis varieties are superior. | About the Author Cairns 10th August 2012 1:28pm #UserID: 5418 Posts: 1438 View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Soak seeds? Dry seeds out? On top of soil or below? Planting medium - someone posted coir 40% and the rest riversand.

Phil@Tyalgum says... I have had success by planting the seeds fresh and not too deep - only about 0.5 cm of good quality seed raising mix over the top. They are very slow to germinate, you are looking at about six months before they appear. Just plant them on their sides (length ways) and don't overwater as they can rot easily in this weather. | About the Author TyalgumPhil Murwillumbah 9th March 2013 12:46pm #UserID: 960 Posts: 1377 View All TyalgumPhil's Edible Fruit Trees |

Nick T says... Hello Rosiebee, you can soak the seeds first or plant the fresh seeds whole (don't dry them out for any longer than a day or two). They only need to be planted about half an inch below the surface of the soil- I've had great success with just normal potting mix. They should germinate within a few months in warm weather, but be patient because they can take longer than that! :) | About the Author Nick T Altona, VIC 9th March 2013 12:54pm #UserID: 2663 Posts: 727 View All Nick T's Edible Fruit Trees |

Mike 2 says... Thanks Mike, Great to hear about your good luck with the durian. I can do the grafting if I can use a suitable tree. I have seedlings for approach grafts and would still pay for it or exchange with another variety. I have on hand grafts of D190, Hew 7, Sunan, and can also do Kanyao.

Estar says... Hi Nick T Thanks for your reply. I have planted them in the ground and in pots to make a comparison......just gotta wait another 3 months to see the 1st results ! A long tap root sounds to me that they would be better in the ground so they can get a good deep anchor to make them happy.

sternus1 says... Ok that's it. I'm buying a box. Been tossing it up all day long. I'm going to have a look into this breeding protection rights thing; my understanding of this albeit superficial is that gene patenting hasn't arrived in Australia yet, though no doubt monsanto will bring it in a wicker basket soon enough considering the ultra neo-liberal recently elected. I bet it would be lawful to sell these under a different title. I do know you could just about count the number of lawyers who deal in patents in Australia on one hand. It is a very lucrative arena of law, particularly internationally. The cultivar title achacha might be patented but my feeling is it would not be possible to patent garcinia humilus....I doubt this could happen even in the US. | About the Author sternus1 Australia 19th December 2013 11:21pm #UserID: 8314 Posts: 1318 View All sternus1's Edible Fruit Trees |

Mike Tr says... The plant breeding rights are only over Garcinia humilis and the achachas are an undescribed species. It also only applies in Australia.They are very easy to get from South America and are a permitted species. Who can prove the source of seeds as there are no varieties.They are not the best of the Latin American Garcinias. | About the Author Mike Tr Cairns 20th December 2013 9:07am #UserID: 8322 Posts: 614 View All Mike Tr's Edible Fruit Trees |

sternus1 says... Ok now I'm confused. So whoever owns the PBR in Aus hasn't actually developed their own variety, they've just cultivated the standard G. Humilis and have 'copyrighted' this? I thought that PBR only covered unique varieties? The US is having, and is going to have more of in the future massive issues over GMO patenting. This happens particularly with corn (Their entire agricultural economy is based around this...it is in everything, and is a subsidised commodity). The last thing you'd expect to find in any sweetened thing in the US is cane sugar, its all high fructose corn syrup, and we aren't too far behind in that regard. There is a situation over there now where farmers can't afford not to grow GMO patent corn, because if they get caught with an incidental stalk in their crop (literally one) big corp will ruin them. I believe the expression for that is 'Take the silver, or get the lead'. It's a very clever albeit evil way of dominating the market. | About the Author sternus1 Australia 20th December 2013 9:34am #UserID: 8314 Posts: 1318 View All sternus1's Edible Fruit Trees |

Mike Tr says... The achacha situation is perverse. A variety of this undescribed species was grabbed an agreement was reached with the government and back in OZ it was PBRed.It was not bred or improved and doesn't even appear to be the best of it's species which extends into Brazil.It sure can't compete with say Luc's mexivcan garcinia for size or quality. I think the intent was to stop people using their seeds to start rival plantations here. The real name is achachairu and some Brazilians are growing better lines. | About the Author Mike Tr Cairns 20th December 2013 9:38am #UserID: 8322 Posts: 614 View All Mike Tr's Edible Fruit Trees |

sternus1 says... Wow. That is insane. No idea how they pulled that off, but I suppose they've placed a fruitless crown on their heads ultimately as they don't have the best going variety anyway. We should form a syndicate and PBR everything we import, and have it contain a clause whereby anybody can do anything they want with anything apart from PBR it. Luc is great, I'm sending him some stuff next week actually. I'm hoping those mexican G's aren't super slow growing, but it is probably wishful thinking as I'm yet to encounter a garcina that isn't. I'm planning on keeping a select few in gargantuan pots.

sternus1 says... A friend of mine is studying to work in patent and copyright law, I'll have to have a chat with him about all this. My feeling is that the achacha PBR wouldn't be worth much in the end, and whoever owns the right would never have secured those at all if they had been challenged,and I highly doubt anybody did. I'll be seeing him in January sometime hopefully. I'vepeters my policy is that I don,t trade sell or gift anything if that is stipulated as part of the exchange by the benefactor. I will have my own Mexican seeds but I would like a seedling in case I completely pork the process of germinating them(it's happened before, im not don burke)or they turn out to not be viable. Again, happy to trade something for one if I have anything you want. | About the Author sternus1 Australia 21st December 2013 3:50pm #UserID: 8314 Posts: 1318 View All sternus1's Edible Fruit Trees |

Lissa says... BJ, thank you for the offer of seedling/s. I would love to take you up on it and try again with the Achacharu. By cover - do you mean actual shade conditions? I see sternus1 has said much the same thing. I could keep it in a big pot. Not sure how to message personal details here, but I need an address to collect and organise a time that suits you BJ. I can't see how to contact you quietly so see no option but to post my mobile number here 0414 445 581. I could call around this weekend sometime if that suited you. | About the Author Lissa Strathpine Qld 17th May 2014 6:58am #UserID: 3797 Posts: 189 View All Lissa's Edible Fruit Trees |

Waterfall says... I tried some of these today for the first time, I wanted to try them before growing a plant. Anyway I thought they were delicious with the only downside being the lack of flesh. I'd say you get about the same amount of flesh as a lychee even though the achacha is about 3x the size. A couple of them only had 2 seeds so there was a decent amount of flesh. | About the Author Waterfall Waterfall 8th February 2015 4:55pm #UserID: 10026 Posts: 422 View All Waterfall's Edible Fruit Trees |

The poster formerly known as... says... I really like achachairu so I am hoping the Mex is a real winner. The achacha I've had this year have all been single seeded and great seed to flesh ratio. If you get the really fat ones, you get lots of seeds and little flesh. Joel, I've finally got your parcel ready to go. If you take good care of them then extra leaves they put out should be as big as the entire plant. My inn ground ones have finally started to get a move on, at just under a foot tall, while a friend out bayside has two trees from the same batch at 5ft already. | About the Author Theposterformerlyknownas Keperra 8th February 2015 7:45pm #UserID: 3270 Posts: 1552 View All Theposterformerlyknownas's Edible Fruit Trees |

Farouk says... Hi All, I brought 3kg of Achacha for $5 kilo & thought i'd try germinate a couple in zip lock bag for now. Peeled off the brown skin to expose the beautiful green & put it in wet tissue. Achacha journey day 1. I have put 1 in a pot of soil right after eating it without scratching the brown skin off, shouldn't make much of a difference like mango as the skin is quite thin & soft.

Pademelon1 says... Those are two years old! They don't look much bigger than my two month old ones. These will be my biggest test of patience yet. Of note I have found that my root systems are much more advanced than my seedling's bole - all of these are already root bound. Also, I seem to have a much higher rate of poly seeds - only 1 of mine is mono.

Markmelb says... if you subtract the 6 months or so to germinate here in melb over winter they are alot younger - I date when i sow them. And they sit for a while waiting for ideal conditions to do the first set of leaves and may only get 2 flushes per year - Lucs is a better grower i think

bspargo says... Here is my Achacha which i grew from seed probably 5 years or so ago. I've been quite patient, and as yet have seen no flowers or fruit!! Has anyone had success here with their achacha's yet? Any recommendations for caring for these plants. I just water mine and move the pot into slightly more shaded areas if i notice it's struggling in the sun.
