Glad it's working out so well for you!
And remember... After you harvest those fruits... be sure to prune it back by at least 1/3... hit it with some fertilizer.... and it will fruit again on the new growth.
And it will repeat that fruiting throughout the season until winter.
These trees are pretty amazing!
Thanks for the feedback.

Good Luck!

Kevin

Here's a few shots of my mother plants popping out:

Kevin, you trees look excellent.
How tall or big is your parent tree ?

Kevin Jones · « **Reply #53 on:** February 12, 2021, 10:49:47 PM »

Thanks... They are around 5 ft tall... of course they would be taller... but I cut them back hard after every fruiting. 2 are in 5 gallon pots... and one is in a 15 gallon.
Once these ripen and are consumed... I will cut them back by about 2/3s and hit them with fertilizer for another round of fruit on the new growth.
They are very fast growing and compact.

Yup, I agree. They do fruit a lot. I hope to taste the fruits this season on my grafts. Since I have my trees outside, I just let them grow and see how tall they will grow before I cut them way back later in summer. My Black Pakistan tree that I let 3 tall branches grow without topping got to about 18 ft in 2 years before I cut it back to 10 ft.

I heard from some members that the World's Best is the same variety as Thai Dwarf but I'm not sure if that's true. My grafted World's Best is a very slow growing graft.

Received my 2 thai dwarfs. Excellently packed, and healthy plants. Kevin thank you. What fertilizer do u hit them with when u prune them for next fruiting?

Kevin Jones · « **Reply #61 on:** February 27, 2021, 11:21:45 AM »

Miracle Grow at regular strength.
If I were you... I would either repot them into a 5 gallon pot... or plant in the ground in a nice sunny place.
A weekly dose of fertilizer wouldn't hurt... they will grow rapidly!
They fruit on new growth... so after they finish a fruiting cycle... you can prune them to fruit again.
In your area... with proper care... you could easily get 3-4 fruit cycles in a season.
And with multiple trees... you could rotate them so there is always fruit available.

Thanks again for your support!

For anyone with questions as to the hardiness of this tree, it was starting to fully leaf out and then we had a low of 20. I banked soil around the base of it. The area that was covered in dirt still has green leaves but the leaves above were toast. It does not appear that the limbs aboved the banked soil line are dead as pf yet but will not know for sure for another couple of weeks.

Kevin Jones · « **Reply #63 on:** February 28, 2021, 12:12:52 PM »

Being the optimist that I am... I am hopeful they will sprout out and grow fine for you.
I have a hedge of them planted outside to test their hardiness here and they appear to be OK... dormant still... but OK. We went down to 13 degrees F on our coldest night too.
I'm in central AL... a little cooler than you.
Keep me updated.
Thanks.

I would guess they are the same. They sure look like it.

World's Best is definitely not a slow grower. It's all I can do to keep it in check, at least when grown in the ground. The neglected ones in pots are a different story.

Kevin Jones · « **Reply #67 on:** March 07, 2021, 01:19:29 PM »

I don't have a "World's Best"... but from the photos I've seen the leaves and fruit look very similar.
More than likely... pure speculation..."World's Best" is a marketing name for the same plant.

Try the new version... "Galaxy's Best"

Beam one up today...

Purchased a Thai Mulberry last year from Kevin. Plant is growing like crazy and already fruiting. Can't wait to try the ripe fruit.

Thanks Kevin,

Mike
