wax jambu

(1/2) > >>

buddy roo:
how do you tell when a  " Black Diamond Wax Jambu " is ripe?? only have one bunch with about 5 so do not want to waste them ist one was pretty but green as a gourd

Santa Maria 9b:
I wait until they are bright pink. They also tend to fall off of the tree when they are ripe, so I end up eating a lot from the ground.

RodneyS:
I have a Diamond River.  I just give the fruit a slight tug.  If they come off easily, then I know they're ripe

ScottR:
Santa Maria, how cold has your wax jambu taken since you've had it and is it in ground or pot??

Santa Maria 9b:
Hey Robert, my wax Jambu has stayed in a pot in my unheated hoop house. It stays maybe 5 degrees warmer in there on winter nights, so the coldest it has gotten is probably about around 35 degrees. It has shown no signs of stress and grows very rapidly. I can air layer you off a branch in Spring if you want to try growing the black diamond variety.
