Title: Randia formosa / Rosenbergiodendron formosum in San Diego
Post by: Dimitry Fisher on May 16, 2019, 12:44:27 AM

I have a seedling of Randia formosa I grew from seed.  Can it survive outside?   I'm in San Diego.  If anyone has successfully grown Randia formosa (a.k.a. Rosenbergiodendron formosum, blackberry jam fruit) outside in SoCal, please let me know the best ways to keep it alive and happy.  Thanks in advance!

I have Randia megacarpa Brandegee here in Nipomo.  It is about 7 years old, never bothered by frost.
