--- Quote from: greg794855 on May 12, 2021, 07:15:33 PM ---The small ones are actually from the big ones nearly 1 year ago. So technically according to our research they could fruit within a year or so. The big ones are of fruiting age already and are our crop supporters. Let me know if this helps or if you have any other questions.

Thanks!

Just cuttings. We have a bunch. We are in the process of expanding exponentially.

my understanding is mostly keeping the soil moist. i was just gonna use some standard high peat potting soil in a fabric pot sitting in a water tray that's kept filled.

on camucamu farms website it states this:
"Care: DO NOT USE CHLORINATED OR TREATED WATER. Place in areas that stay wet all year."

I answer some of that here: https://tropicalfruitforum.com/Themes/default/images/topic/my_normal_post.gif
Instead of peat I use pine bark to give it some filtration.
