Tropical Fruit Discussion / Wax Jambu Dying?
« on: July 25, 2013, 11:14:16 PM »
So I decided to keep my Wax Jambu potted while it was flowering.   I think the majority of the flowers were pollinated as only a few have fallen off since over a week ago.  What caused my concern was that though the flowers haven't dropped, I see no progress in fruit development.  Also,  the leaves are starting to turn yellow.    I picked up my tree today out of the pot and the roots don't look too healthy (see pic).   I touched the black plastic pot the tree is sitting in this afternoon and it's awfully hot from direct sunlight and I think this is the cause of my tree's ailments.  I'm thinking of just planting it tomorrow.  Suggestions anyone?  Thanks!

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Wax Jambu - Advice Needed
« on: July 10, 2013, 12:12:57 AM »
Hi, newb here (to the forum and gardening in general). 

I impulsively bought this Wax Jambu last week. Got tempted because of all the flowers on there and loved the fruit when I had it traveling to Vietnam.  A few of the flowers bloomed today which prompted me to take a closer look at the tree at which point I noticed that there's quite a few flowers on this one branch (see pic) that doesn't appear will support more than 1 or 2 fruits.   My question is, do I need to thin out the flowers to prevent the branch from snapping?   

Also, I have this gut feeling that I need to transplant this tree soon to the ground because it looks too big for the pot (3 gallons).   I'm hesitant to do it now because I've read that this shouldn't be done in the summer.  It's in the 90's during the day.  Any suggestions?

One last thing, I did some research and realized there's a bunch of different varieties of this plant.  Can anyone tell which variety this is by looking at the picture? Thanks.
