The Luc's Garcinia fruit tree, known as Mexican Mangosteen or Luc's vleerackerri, is prized for its tropical fruits that blend sweet and tangy flavors “like a mangosteen mixed with a mango”.

Native to Mexico, it's similar in appearance as Achachairu. It has been described as having more acidity and "bite" (hence a common name limoncillo) than achachairu. It is one of the few Garcinia's that have a relatively high cold tolerance.

Luc's Garcinia fruit tree was cultivated from seeds sourced from Mexico, meticulously grown in an indoor greenhouse in the Netherlands under LED lights. Planted in well-draining soil, the seeds received optimal conditions simulating natural sunlight. The controlled environment of the greenhouse ensured consistent temperatures between 20-25°C and moderate humidity levels.

Luc's Garcinia, is prized for its small, round bright yellow fruit which are double or sometimes triple seeded, typically as large as tennis balls that blend sweet and tangy flavors. In its native regions of Mexico and Central America, the fruits are enjoyed fresh or used in jams and desserts. Rare fruit collectors that have compared different Garcinia fruits mention the good pulp to seed ratio of the fruit.

Shipped with confidence from our nursery in the Netherlands, centrally located in Europe, ensuring swift delivery. Each tree is securely packaged in a special blister in a sturdy cardboard box, guaranteeing protection during transit. This method ensures that your tree arrives fresh and in pristine condition, ready to thrive in their new environment upon arrival. A care sheet is included in the box.

Properties and care

Luc’s Garcinia can thrive in a pot in temperate climates with proper care. Use well-draining soil and place in a sunny spot indoors or outdoors during warm months.

Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Fertilize with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season.

Maintain humidity around 50-60% and keep temperatures between 0-35°C. Luc’s Garcinia is self-pollinating, so no special pollination is required.

Additional info

Luc’s Garcinia, scientifically named Garcinia intermedia, is a tropical evergreen tree, and a close relative to Mangosteen which is considered queen of all fruits. In Spanish-speaking countries, this fruit is often called Limoncillo.

Propagation of Luc’s Garcinia can be achieved through seeds or grafting. Seeds are extracted from ripe fruits and sown in well-draining soil, typically indoors or in a nursery setting. They require warmth and consistent moisture to germinate, usually taking several weeks or even months to sprout. They grow a big taproot, so it’s recommended to use an extra deep pot if you grow it in a pot.

Grafting, particularly onto rootstock of related Garcinia species, is another common method to propagate selected varieties for better fruit production and disease resistance.

Luc’s Garcinia thrives in tropical and subtropical climates, preferring rich, organic soil with good drainage and ample sunlight. It is a slow-growing tree that reaches heights of about 6-10 meters. The tree bears tennis ball size, round fruits that ripen to yellow, with a sweet, tangy flavor similar to Achachairu and even mangosteen. The fruits are enjoyed fresh, used in jams, preserves, and desserts, or processed into beverages and sauces.

Sadly, DNF
Format: Kindle
I read this thru KU. I LOVED the synopsis. And then I began reading... and it was a DNF at 68% after picking it up and putting it down several times because I really loved the main female character. *****SPOILERS***** Pros: The world is unique, intriguing and fun. The primary female character is bad-a** but not a b*tech or a mary sue. The primary female has depth. I really want to know what happens to her even tho it's been weeks and I don't remember her name. The villains to the point I read are pretty good -- an ever present threat of mysterious and possibly many culprits. Cons: Way, way too many points of view. I stopped counting at 7. It's the prime reason why I don't care about most of the characters or remember their names even when I like them. There's just too many points of view so almost none of the characters have enough book space for the author to properly develop them. This literally killed the book for me. Actually it killed my desire to read. For weeks. The main male is more villain than hero. He agreed to marry the main female then locks her up & eschews her for her sister, all while bad mouthing her as unfit to rule when he never spent any time with her getting to know her. He is actually unfit to rule as he is blind to the woes of his own kingdom and starts off a peace mission to secure a ceasefire through marriage by murdering an inn full of people in her country for no real reason. Plus, he constantly makes promises he does not keep. And it's gross of him to pine for the sister behind the main female's back. ***** As much as I really wanted to see what happened to the main female character, it wasn't enough for me to keep trying to slog thru this book. There was a lot of potential here that just fell short. Hence, 3 stars.

Fae Courts with High Intrigue
Format: Kindle
This book is one that just builds and builds and then surprises you to no end. You may think you know the villains and then you are jolted in another direction. Princess Reyna is a real gem, strong of character, a fierce fighter, and loyal to her family and kingdom. Just when you think she and Lorcan, well you know, the plot is flipped. Can't wait to see where this goes in book two.

Slow, sorry but good
Format: Kindle
This was a slow moving book. Lots of character pov chapters, lots of superfluous descriptions and endless courtly appearances stalled this book to start. Once you get into the heart of the story, it takes off. Before you know it the book is done. My favorite character is Reyna. She is so strong. She is true to herself. She gets into a lot of trouble with her headstrong ways but it's entertaining. I have high hopes for Lorcan. He is honorable to a fault. Thane had turned out to be better than I thought but i still don't like him. Eislin is useless. Great plot twists at the end. I'm looking forward too book 2.

Very detailed! Beautiful world building! Strong Heroine!
Format: Kindle
Starts off a little slow and confusing with different POV’s, but starts to all come together towards the middle to make an elaborate plot line and makes it all worth it. Beautiful world building and attention to detail as well as great writing. The cliffhanger was gut wrenching! Can’t wait for the next book!

Interesting
Format: Kindle
This was a very captivating book once you got into it thoroughly. But the third person perspective was a bit hard to get used to. But as you got into it and followed the different characters, it was interesting and filled with intrigue, conflict and forbidden love. I can’t wait to read the next one and to complete the series.
