Rare Rainforest Fruit with Mangosteen Flavor

If you are a gardener known to dance to the beat of your own drum, cultivating the "A-cha-cha" could be your next great pick!

Gardeners of all levels can’t resist the lure of the Achacha tree. Garcinia humilis is native to South American countries like Bolivia, Peru, and Brazil, where locals know it as Achachairú. The Achacha is native to medium-altitude rain forests, so it grows well in shady, humid climates in soil with good porosity. The Achacha tree can be slow growing, but eventually fruits with an abundant rhythm. Achacha trees grow to about 10–15 ft. tall, developing a handsome evergreen canopy that makes them as ornamental as they are productive.

Its bright orange, egg-shaped fruits are said to be most similar to Mangosteen in flavor, but with about half of the sugar content. Beneath the colorful rind is juicy, translucent flesh with a refreshing balance of sweetness and tang. Achacha fruits grow enclosed in a rind, which keep for 4 to 6 weeks at room temperature once harvested. The rinds, rich in antioxidants, can also be infused and chilled into a sweet, tangy drink. With its exceptional flavor, attractive growth habit, and growing reputation among rare fruit collectors, Achacha is quickly earning a place on the world’s fruit platter.

Cultural & Culinary Significance

The cultivation of Achachairú began with indigenous communities in the tropical lowlands of the Amazon Basin, where the fruit has been enjoyed for generations and traditionally used as a hunger suppressant and in skin healing. Particularly cherished in Bolivia and throughout parts of the Amazon region, Achachairú remains closely tied to local food traditions and cultural heritage. The name was adapted from Achachairu to simply Achacha for marketing purposes in Australia, where it was recently approved for commercial growth and is helping introduce this remarkable fruit to growers around the world. Today, Achacha serves as a living connection to the biodiversity, agricultural knowledge, and food traditions of the Amazon Basin.

Why Grow Achacha?

• Produces delicious sweet-tart fruits often compared to Mangosteen with about half the sugar content

• Bright orange fruits and glossy evergreen foliage make an attractive landscape specimen

• Fruits store for 4–6 weeks at room temperature after harvest

• Antioxidant-rich rinds can be infused into a refreshing tropical beverage

• Considered a promising species for rainforest restoration efforts in areas affected by deforestation and burning

Growing Tips

(Also known as: Achacha, Achachairú, Achachairu, Bolivian Mangosteen, Garcinia humilis)

Achacha grows best in warm, humid climates and is naturally adapted to medium-altitude rain forests. Young trees appreciate partial shade, especially during establishment, while mature specimens can tolerate increased sun exposure in tropical and subtropical environments.

Plant in rich, moist soil with excellent drainage and good porosity. Consistent moisture encourages healthy growth and fruit production, though soils should never remain waterlogged. Mulching with organic matter helps retain moisture and recreate the conditions of the rainforest floor.

Apply a balanced fertilizer during the growing season to support steady growth and fruit development. Growth is typically slow in the early years but becomes increasingly rewarding as trees mature and fruit abundantly. Pruning requirements are minimal and generally limited to shaping and removing damaged branches.

Achacha performs well in containers while young and can be grown in protected environments outside tropical regions. In frost-free climates, planting in the ground allows the tree to develop its full potential. High humidity is preferred, and the species generally experiences few major pest or disease problems.

Our X-Large Achacha trees offer the shortest wait to harvest, with the potential to fruit within 3–4 years of planting. Large seed-grown plants are capable of producing within approximately 5 years, while Medium plants are known to fruit prolifically within about 6 years.

Check your power supply before purchaing
The Hub works, just not as expected. I contacted support and the rep said I needed more power. I have a 65w charger for my Lenovo Yoga and she said I need 80w because the hub uses 15w. I'm not sure why anyone would have a charger on hand that has 15w more than your computer needs. This should be listed in the information before buying or Anker should include a 100w power supply for the Hub. Issues from not having enough power are 1) Does not do passthrough charging 2) HDMI to 2nd monitor is not fully colored, it's like theirs a 50% transparency gray box over everything. I purchased it to be able to connect a new microphone and for that alone it worked well. I just don't have enough ports to run everything. I tried connecting a 2nd power supply(one to the Hub and one to the laptop) and it did not improve the image quality. Edit: purchased a 100w charger and performance is the same. Does not run an external microphone and charge the laptop.

Great value
I recently purchased the Anker USB C Hub, PowerExpand 6-in-1 Adapter, and I must say it has been a game-changer for my setup. The build quality is impressive, and the compact design makes it incredibly convenient for on-the-go use. The variety of ports this hub offers is exceptional, providing me with multiple connectivity options for my devices. The high-speed data transfer and seamless 4K HDMI output have significantly enhanced my productivity and multimedia experience. What truly sets the Anker PowerExpand apart is its reliability. I've had no issues with connectivity or performance since I started using it. Anker's commitment to quality is evident in every aspect of this product.
