Thank you.

I have a small tree inFl, but I really don’t know much about them, I hear u need Male And Female, and they take for Ever to produce fruit , I do remember that when I used to climb an old Mamonsillo tree at my Grandmas house, the tree was at least 60-70 feet tall no easy task to get Mamon but it was definitively worth it when I got some. Maybe some of the members can share some light on this question
