Anyone who has grown kepel has any experience if they like full sun eventually? Im growing a small seedling and havent found much info online besides old threads in the forum.

Thankya, William

The Australian experience is different from that related by Oscar in Hawaii. I found them to be fast growing and vigorous whereas Oscar advised he found them slow to grow and begin fruiting. They prefer full sun once over about 1m to 1.25m. They are cone shaped tall and have brightly coloured new growth.

Thanks mike! Mine is a small seedling only has 4 leaves, slow but nicely. Did you ever had problems with the wind when your kepel was in ground? Also ive heard they love water
