Post by: Don on August 22, 2014, 05:41:58 PM
Could anybody tell me are neonitidas in season at the moment as i would like to add this one to my collection and would only be able to purchase it as seed. Any tips on them?
regards Don

My one is getting its first flowers now so I presume in the northen hemisphere late spring and early summer is likely to be the main fruiting time.They are likely to have a season that lasts a while.

Thanks mike, just found them as available on flying fox fruits page so see how i go. How are all your eugenias going? Just getting massive amounts of growth on mine after the rain we have had, yours would have a fair head start on spring by now in cairns wouldn't they?

My Pitangatuba is just starting to flower here in Southern California. I grafted a few up onto Pitanga seedlings and they seem to be doing fine.
