mamey

Just out of curiosity, does anybody know what the cold tolerance is on Mamey Sapote. I have a small seedling, and a grafted Key West Pantin. They have not overwintered here yet, and i know the typical growing region is south Florida, so i am curious if they can make it here

I have fruited Magana and it nearly kill my tree. I doubt it will make it in a 9b too cold sensitive....let us know your progress

I will keep you updated. There is stories of fruiting mamey in so cal in san diego/LA area. We are in the low 30's in this area. That is the coldest i have seen it. Should be interesting

If you look thru the forum search you will see my pix of fruiting mamey in Orange County and LA county. The problem you have is you are in the desert very low humidity and single digit precipitation. I wish you the best of luck

Yes, we hardly get rain, though i water plenty. And our humidity levels are crap. I dont know. I am out in no mans land here. I love exotics, so im willing to try most things at least once. I mean so far i have learned that Mamey seems to be very tolerant of high air temps, as long as they are sufficiently watered. We will see what else i learn from them.
