Leo, How large/small do you intend to keep it?
Still looking for someone to review the different types from excalibur. Do you remember which variety you purchased?
I like fruit trees to make use of all the space that's above where it's planted. So, if I can help it, I don't want/plan to prune it at all.
I'll try to keep this brief. For some years I had been asking Pine Island to obtain Sweet Tamarind (and 'Alphonso' mango). One day, they told me that out of several hundred, only about two trees survived the trip from overseas. They planted those two surviving trees, and although I tried to bribe them
to sell me an air layer, they told me I had to wait, and so I did. The tree is now growing really happy with no problems. It's growing fast, tall and quick. I guess I'm now waiting for it to get more established and hopefully have heavy consistent production of fruit. And, yes, the fruit is sweet like the store bought kind. And, other than it being sweet, I don't know what variety it is, or if there's more than one variety.
