I was out watering my whole yard like a madman at 2am. Lowest reading I saw from my area that day was like 37 IIRC

I hope this species fruits well at low elevation. My friend gave me a seedling today, in a red solo cup, about 2-3 month old, only 8 inch tall, with a stem smaller than 1cm thick....and it already had one flower!I can't think of any other fruit tree I've seen that flowered at such a juvenile phase!
What about production? Do they produce without cross pollination? At what age can they bear fruit? And does hand pollinating help?Tomeksince i dont plant them, i cant help with those questions.
An update on how my gileri are growing. Most of them have matured their first leaves. Some are even splitting their growing tip. I’d like to see a flower before I have to move them inside for the winter! They are extremely sensitive to humidity, far more than cacao. Especially when they first break the ground.Here is a video of the pod before I opened it: https://youtu.be/uQzfhKWb6IcAnd here is one I made a few days ago better showing the developing plants: https://youtu.be/3i4a6XTjU2gTomek
