Hi Steven,
I am not sure when I got the seeds, but it was several years ago.
These plants spent a long while in small pots before I planted them in the ground. They
would have bloomed sooner, otherwise. Marulas, are very fast growers with enough heat.
Oscar,
Marulas do well with lots of water, but that might prevent them from going dormant, and then blooming.
Here, winter cold makes them deciduous, rather than drought.
