Garcinia madruno

Garcinia madruno, the charichuela, is a fruit-producing tree species from the lowland and montane rainforests of Central and South America. It ranges from Honduras to Trinidad, Paraguay, and northeastern Brazil. The leaves are dark green and leathery. The fruit looks like a shriveled droopy lemon and has a similar rind, so is sometimes called a lemon drop mangosteen. The interior is soft white pulp and has a popular, slightly citrusy taste people have compared to a sweet santol fruit or lemony cotton candy.

Cultivation
Garcinia madruno is well adapted to a wide variety of soils, tolerating even poor soils or heavy clay. It is a slow grower and takes about 5 to 7 years to fruit. When young, it must be protected from frosts and it will not fruit in cold areas. ==Distribution==
