Damn Tre, it looks like you spent a small fortune on ebay recently?
Are you putting them in the ground or pots?
I have had problems with my water and my potting soil and my jabos seem '
to suffer the most. I think I got everything dialed in finally.
I do well with smaller jabos on my lanai that gets filtered sun or my porch that gets
limited sun. My larger trees I have in large pots and they get half a day or less sun.
I do have 2 sabaras in the ground in full sun and one is really taking off, I think the Holly tone
has made a huge difference?

yes I have bought all these off ebay the past few months. I want to plant them all in ground but they're in pots right now.

My biggest concern is the spacing, I'm trying to plant them so in at least 75 years they are still in full sun. A lot of people recommending short spacing where they get shade but I want to plant in full sun. I planted the 3 grafted coronata restinga, anomaly, and grimal in ground recently. I think they have at least 10 feet of spacing each. I fertilize with homemade worm castings and epsom salt as of now
