What is the Largest Grumichama in Southern California?
« on: June 08, 2021, 10:47:24 PM »
I haven't personally seen a large Grumichama in SoCal.  The largest I've seen in person was only 6' tall and fruiting.  Are there plants that are 10'-15' range?

I’d like to know also. This tree has survived planted in the ground here in Northern California

I've got a 14 year old one, that I've kept in a 25 gallon pot. It's flowered but no fruit.

They sure get big here and tower over 40ft in no time at all in my climate and dont need supplementary watering.The trunk gets pretty thick on old trees.

about 1 -2 years ago I saw 7foot in 15 gallon sold by Bonita nursery, fruiting too. They were asking $1000 for it.

Did you see Thoms when you were over there? Covered in fruit and probably at least 12ft tall. I like how he has it pruned too.

I have received no complaints about the presence of my yellow grumi in the front yard from the local avifauna btw. They have in fact been keen patrons of this tree when it is in fruit. I dont many.
