What Are They?
« on: June 06, 2015, 08:19:12 PM »
I lost the tags on these 2 and can't remember what I have.

The leaves are white when they first develop (plant on right) and later when they turn green they have
a white, silk-like coating (plant on left).

Thanks!

Michael

Starling,

time to get your eyes checked...

that's what's referred to in the business as an Olosapo...

Couepia polyandra

I lost the tags on these 2 and can't remember what I have.

The leaves are white when they first develop (plant on right) and later when they turn green they have
a white, silk-like coating (plant on left).

Thanks!

don't worry Starling, we won't hold it against you, it's a common mistake made by newbies who are getting into tropical fruits!

Cmichael258,

The small grafted olosapos I have are about 2ys since grafting, they grow super slow, and flower once a year, but have yet to set a fruit...still in a 3gal pot, about 2.5-3ft tall.

ps, does anyone remember what the GiF I posted is from?

 :D

this thread has been derailed into oblivion.

but at least we found out what species you have,

and we found out who the oiled up muscleman playing saxophone from Lost boys is... :P

I know I've been laughing my ass off every time I see him gyrate his hips, shaking those chains all around...there is something so righteous about him....man that guy is the essence of FLAIR!

I only break out that GIF for special occasions.
