I have a couple Achachas that were approximately 4 ft high, nicely branched, doing well in an unheated greenhouse. I slowly introduced them to outdoor shade then full sun over a spring and summer. The new leaves would get trashed whenever there was a windy day under outdoor shade but would grow ok. Once exposed to full sun, the tree would get burnt to hell and new leaves would not fully develop. Over the following winter, lots of dieback exposed to the elements. I dug them up and potted them back in the greenhouse to recover and are doing fine.
You can grow them here, but they need a lot of protection from the elements, particularly if you live more inland. Most seedling Garcinias that I have acquired do just fine in pots in a greenhouse, even with regular mid-high 30F nights. Space will eventually be the concern. Eventually will be a long time based on their slow growth.
Here’s my Achachas pushing all kinds of new growth. Had to tie their heads to the ceiling due to too heavy weight. Both in 15 gallon pots and loving the desert heat of my greenhouse.
Ryan, Wow !
Is that your tree with the fruit?
I thought the original bud mutation was from JF (Frank) tree, but I got my scions from Gozp.
Yes, I want to see how well loquats grow in containers. I have a Kosmic that needs up potting or put it in the ground but running out of yard real states.
Can be grafted onto cherimoya?
