Inga cold hardiness pictures

[Vernmented]

I have a triple grafted Inga with I. feuillei, I. edulis and an unknown species. The edulis had tip death but is still alive. The unknown had leaf burn but is sprouting new growth. The feuillei looks pretty good and is now spitting out it's first flowers. It was recently grafted on 7/24/2017. It probably got down to the high 20s/low 30s for a few hours. I am in Sarasota just east of I75.





The branch in the foreground is Inga edulis.


Inga edulis tip death.


Leaf burn on the unknown but it is pushing new growth.


I. feuillei flowers!

Finally some concrete info on cold hardiness, thank you.
What's the rootstock and how old is that? It seem quite old.

Wow! It’s amazing what the cold stress can do! How old is the tree and is it flowering from the graft or the rootstock? Also do you know sources of Inga scions? I’m too impatient for my 2 yr old trees to flower.

After doing some digging for visual ID I think the original tree is Inga vera. I bought it off of ebay when I first started planting about 4 years ago. Most likely it was sold to me as Inga edulis. I was basically using the tree as perennial cover crop and doing heavy pruning or else it would have been much larger and have fruited by now. The scion of Inga feuillei came from Oscar's mature tree and is flowering in just over 7 months! Crazy. I am sure the established rootstock gave it a boost as well.

I'll be damned Starry , thanks for the pictures and write up. Good data to get out there and you just planted the seed in my brain that I should graft my larger in ground Inga's. Thanks for the inspiration! got scion ?
