Three Ingas

[sunny]

It's quite possible that cinnamomea is mislabeled.  Inga cinnamomea suppose to be one of the bigger, meatier and better tasting among those species.

that Inga congesta they have looks awesome. Smaller pods but the foliage looks interesting.

have you ever tried the Jinicuil? it also has large pods from what I've seen.

Not yet.

Oscar, any idea how I might get Inga spectabilis to grow upwards rather than outward?  I have one I. spectabilis that is growing really well, but it is much wider than it is tall, and the branches seem to want to spread rather than go up (I'm not seeing any upward-facing shoots).  I've pruned some of the low lateral branches, but it didn't make a difference.

Natural tendency of this tree is to form big umbrella shape. Just keep shortening the shoots that go horizontally, and eventually you will get upward growth.

I was under the Impression that Pacay (feuillee) was the one with more cold tolerance ?

Uruguensis would make sense, i remember looking up the range
and i think it was the farthest southern growing.
i didnt know it was a Syn for  I. Vera ?


I like this guys videos
he said this is the best tasting one, but, he doesnt know the species...
