Achacha

Sunday 23 December 2012

Garcinia humilis, known commonly as achachairĂº or achacha, is a small, prolifically-fruiting tree related to the mangosteen. It is grown traditionally in Bolivia, but recently has been planted on a commercial scale in Burdekin, Australia. The fruit took third place in the 2012 Fruit Logistica Innovation Awards held in Berlin. The Achacha has an appealing colour and form and is very decorative. It is egg-shaped, up to 6cm long by 4cm in diameter. It takes on a reddish-orange shade when mature.
