Garcinia's "what's growing on" thread

Bad puns! But in all seriousness I figured I'd make a thread to showcase what new things have happened in relation to my fruit trees and post regular updates

Here is the first of my Natal plum seeds I collected to germinate:



Passionfruit germinating like crazy:



Guarana seedlings:





This Annona seed which I believe is soursop has rooted:



Not much to see, but under here are some sprouted red hybrid jaboticaba seeds
