My Rain Forest Plum was exposed to 26F and 28F this winter without any protection. It lost over 2/3 s of its foliage but no branch damage. Here is a few photos of it budding out today. I was concerned that the branches were damaged but I have buds on every single branch tip.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Mexican Rheedia/Garcinia?
« on: July 02, 2012, 11:26:36 PM »
Well after almost a 5 year wait I have my first open bloom on one of my Mexican Garcinia plants! I planted seeds in August 2007! I really think it that it would have fruited sooner if I had taken better care of it! I have kept it pruned to about 36 inches tall. I am also growing it in a 5 gallon Rootmaker pot. I know when I spoke to Luc about it he said that is usually takes 7 to 8 years to fruit from seed in Mexico if I recall correctly. Also my plants went through several tough winters in Texas! Here is a photo of my first open bloom.
