Have a couple of pitangatubas around 2.5 yrs old and a foot and half tall. Over the last couple of months they have been poking out flowers here and there 1 or two at a time but have had a bit of a drop in night time temps and you can really feel the winter chill comin in the air and it has really done something to the pitangatubas as they are starting to flower like crazy. I counted over 50 flowers one one tree! Have a pitomba ( e. luschnathiana) even fruiting? Other pitomba finished its fruiting in January and is shutting down for winter but this other tree I have is just starting to kick on.
Anybody else find chill triggers their pitangatubas into flowers or just coincidence? Love to hear from anyone else growing them in Australia.
Cheers, Don.
