I grew Garcinia warrenii from Nth Qld. It had an enormous carrot like taproot and did not appear to love root disturbance a lot.
How about different Garcinia species, any care wanted with transplanting ??
The lemondrop, brasiliensis, and seashore leaves all suffered from transplanting way more than achacha, cuban, luc, and imbe, however nothing dangerous in any respect.
The imbe pushed new leaves like 2 days after transplant, it would not appear to care. Achacha stalled for a ~week, cuban and luc stalled for 4-6 weeks however no foliage injury.
Minor leaf shock signs appeared on the skinny and fragile rooted ones solely, I wager a garcinia with the same development sample to lemondrop would develop the leaf injury too.
Your warrenii sounds just like the luc and cubans, ridiculously thick taproots. I wager it’d react like lucs; freezes for some time however gave me no hassle.
I feel I might go additional and generalize them in 3 teams:
– skinny and fragile roots (lemondrop, brasiliensis, seashore)
– skinny and hard roots (achacha, imbe)
– thick and hard roots (lucs, cuban)
With considerably comparable development patterns contained in every group. Anybody else discover/verify these patterns?
Which additionally I feel is bizarre, as a result of achacha and imbe you would not actually examine them, particularly contemplating how distinctive each species leaves are for garcinias, however after watching them for some time I am unable to assist however discover how associated they act. Or perhaps it is a traditional case of pattern bias
