That's a beautiful Mamey!
You've had it 6 years in zone 9b? Awesome, Gives me hopes of my mamey seedlings doing well in my climate! It's grown a lot this year! Hopefully winter won't be too hard on it..
Thanks again for sharing!c
Yes thank you!
the tree has been protected by bringing it to the south side of my house...it is in a microclimate you could say.
it will be near impossible to fruit this tree with out additional heating and greenhousing...because the fruits take too long to ripen! about a year.
so in theory..they'll get hit by a freeze sooner or later...and it will harm the fruits...without proper care.
Now that I think of it, I will repot this tree into a 50 gal or so, and try to make it grow laterally, by pulling down all four shoots.
I don't want to prune it, because the cold will most likely do that for me. Also, it looks cooler to have a huge tall tree...if it's not going to fruit anytime soon, I may as well have a nice large tree to sit under, and impress my garden guests with.
