Dwarf Guaya from Raul (M.oliviformis)

[Mike T]

Got some dwarf guaya seeds (Meliccocu oliviformis I tink) a few years ago and that is his picture above. I planted 3 and one was a casualty that never recovered from a goose incident, one is now 10 feet high and the other is 15 feet. I gave a runt to a friend who grew it in a pot and it is around 4 ft high now. My large flourishing trees are yet to flower but the small pottd one my friend ha is busting out in bloom.

These are up there on my want list!
Aren't they dioecious ??....or are there bisexual varieties?
Interested to hear if your friends plant bears fruit.

There appears to be a photo issue atm and it looks like they dropped out of this thread also.

Yes they are monos/bisex and caused hearts to flutter when Raul first posted pics.

There is a bit of variation in this species.
