Achacha Fruit Tree Garcinia Humilis. young seedling If you want to grow delicious Mangosteen-like fruit in ANY zone, the Achacha fruit tree is the one! They can tolerate brief temperature drops down to 30 degrees once they're established. In colder areas, simply bring the tree indoors for the winter. Garcinia humilis, known commonly as achachairú or achacha, is a small, prolifically fruiting tree related to the mangosteen. It is an abundant producer, both in containers and in the ground. The achacha has an appealing color and form and is very decorative. It is egg-shaped, up to 6 cm long by 4 cm in diameter. It takes on a reddish-orange shade when mature. There is usually one significant coffee-colored seed, but larger fruit may have more than one seed. It quickly grows to a manageable size - reaching 20 feet when planted outdoors but only about five feet when grown in a container.The Achacha is a medium to large vibrant yellow-orange fruit, similar to the delectable (but expensive) mangosteens found in supermarkets and will be ready for harvesting from late June to July. The taste is described as both bitter and sweet and is somewhat reminiscent of lemonade. The rather tough, bitter rind can be split open with a knife or with the teeth, and the edible part of the fruit sucked off the seed. The glossy orange rinds of the achacha may be put in a blender with water. Once pureed and then strained to remove all of the solids, this liquid may be diluted and sweetened to one's taste, then chilled for a refreshing summer drink. Our trees are healthy and strong. You will receive a similar tree as the one in the photo. .Place in a semi shady location. (Reminder, we do not ship to California, Hawaii, Arizona, Alaska, or Puerto Rico.)
