Hi.
Im spending my days dreaming of knew plants and Im planning to make a order. I ordered before from fruitlovers and I think they still got some things I want. But I was hoping to have some more info about Garcinia. Im thinking of Bolivian mangosteen, gamboge, imbe and other Garcinia. But also of Abiu, bilimibi and similar hardiness.
I tell you what work and what dont. I had 1 Imbe coming and it grew slow but it looked alright, It died this winter. Could have been of bad care because it wasnt me. But i also had cashew. They sprouted nice but then i blew some in bad handling. One survived that but also died in the winter. I have some papayas and some died and some survived. They hardly grow anything unless i have them behind some glas. I have mangos, bananas avocados and they all look happy. We didnt see any frost here but its very close and the climate in south of portugal is still very cold in the winter. I also have some jakfruit that survived and icecream-bean, jaboticaba and also jacana. Some of those individuals died and some look half-dead so I guess the winter is very hard here for many plants. I also have a lot of anonas popping up in the compost and i put them in pots. This winter killed half of them but I guess they are also more sensitive when they are young.
Im not afraid of spending some money on a experiment. I just want to do it a little bit proper
and I also saw that my shoping bag grew big and i dont know if i will have pots for all his stufff
So. Help me concentrate on what will likely work in south of europe.
