The Tropical Fruit Forum

Awesome job Simon!  I purposefully didn’t graft on a male branch so my tree would have en extra year of growth without fruit set. It’s pushing a ton of new growth right now.
Looking at your fantastic photos though, makes me think I should graft a male branch on so it has all year to heal before next season. We still have “May Gray“ and “June gloom“ahead of us so I think I have at least 2 1/2 months for healing and growth before hot summer months.

My tree will definitely be ready to hold fruit next year and probably could’ve this year.

So many peoples dreams are about to start coming true with trees coming into production! It’s pretty amazing. Thank you for all your help as always, Simon.

Do you still have them?

I have a prague but it is not very big, I don't think it will get much bigger though.

Up potted my seedling plant. Currently flushing new growth

I had a dream last night that my Yangmei plants were loaded with fruit this year. I must have been thinking about Simon's plants!

I’ve been dreaming about Yangmei for about the last three years so hopefully this is the year my dreams will come true There’s still plenty of time for me to screw things up and I’m especially worried because my trees are still in pots and these fruit are supposed to ripen in Summer.

I hope you and Rob will get to live your dream soon, maybe just not in my yard, lol!

I’d also love to hear how everyone else’s trees are doing from other states/climates. Yangmei can supposedly take pretty cold temperatures so hopefully members from other states can have success growing them in the cooler climates.
