Garcinia sp. “Mato Grosso”

Garcinia sp. “Mato Grosso” is a fascinating Bacupari variety native to the Brazilian Amazon, where it grows in primary and secondary forests. This large, impressive tree features a straight trunk, a well-developed root system, and abundant fruit production. Its large fruits contain succulent, white pulp with a flavor reminiscent of Bolivian Achachairu, Garcinia humilis, but with a notably larger size and a significantly sweeter taste. Combining excellent flavor with strong market potential, this promising variety is especially appealing to rare-fruit collectors and tropical fruit enthusiasts. Although its precise botanical identity remains under study, it stands out as an exciting and potentially valuable addition to any collection of exceptional tropical fruit trees.
