Achacha Tree and Achachairú Garcinia Humilis
The Achacha tree, Garcinia humilis, is native to South American countries like Bolivia, Peru, and Brazil, where locals call it Achachairú. Indigenous communities began cultivating it in the tropical lowlands of the Amazon Basin. In Australia, the name was shortened to Achacha for marketing, and the crop has recently been approved for commercial growth, boosting its presence on the world fruit platter. The tree prefers medium-altitude rainforest climates—shady, humid conditions with well-porous soil. It grows slowly but can reach about 10–15 ft tall.
The bright orange, egg-shaped fruits are said to be closest in flavor to mangosteen, with about half the sugar. They are encased in a rind that stays fresh for 4–6 weeks at room temperature after harvest. Rinds are rich in antioxidants and can be infused into a sweet, tangy drink when chilled. The plant is noted as a good candidate for rainforest restoration in parts of South America affected by deforestation and burning. Our medium-size Achacha trees are grown from seed and typically fruit within 6 years; large-size plants also grown from seed and can fruit within 5 years.

Let customers speak for us
Good solution. The little flies have disappeared. We were sure to mist/moisten the surface of each plant once a day for 4 or 5 days, after the initial application of the nematodes, to keep the little guys mobile and able to get to any remaining eggs. So, go for it!
Plant was well packed and shipment was very fast. Received a very nice fully rooted plant in the pot!
The organic garden soil is doing very well in my garden bed. The company was professional, nice, and accommodating to my needs. They provide many types of things for your landscaping at a reasonable price.
Product was delivered promptly and the quality of the product was very good, as hoped for. I was thrilled to receive the product so quickly! Thank you!
Product is great. Didn't care for having to pay am extra $17 tariff to UPS to get it delivered, but I guess that's not your doing. Thank you Mr. President.
My new babay arrived safely and only lost two little leaves so far. The first one I ordered from different shop arrived with two leaves attached that fell off within ten minutes of unboxing and 22 leaves that had came off during shipping. So glad she arrived looking as beautiful as i was hoping. Also had a surprise red arrow syngonium cutting that’s beautiful. Also customer service was amazing. Will definitely order from them again. Hoghly recommend this shop.
Great flag and it works well on our hangar ceiling. A little worried it wouldn't arrive in time for our event but it did.
Enjoyed putting them together
I think I’m in love! This beauty came delicately packaged. Seemed to have no stress at all from shipping. I live in Miami, I was worried about shipping all the way from California. To my surprise she arrived well taken care of already. I can tell this grower takes pride in caring for these babies. Shipping was fast. I just ordered again same day!
Great service and great product. Delivery was quick. Good communication.
lovely olive jar, attractive to keep on display. And useful too.
Fast delivery . Product exactly matches description. Easy to contact with same day replies. We will use them again.
Great job from growing to shipping
