How long to fruit? Look here!

[Sanddollarmoon]

Probably one of the most asked questions on this forum is “how long does ___ take to fruit?” Since nobody seems to have done this yet, lets start adding what we know! Here is a small few:

Cola Nitida (abata kola): 12 years
Passiflora Alata (fragarant granadilla): 1.5 years
Persea Americana (avocado): 5-20 years
Theobroma Cacao (cacao): 2-6 years
Theobroma Gileri: 3-4 months

Hey, does anybody know how long adansonia digitata (african baobab) takes to fruit?

we should probably make sure to make a distinction between grafted and seedling.

Yup, and mention if the plant requires chilling hours, as that can greatly offset the time to fruit.

Theobroma gileri takes only 3-4 months to fruit? Maybe you mean to flower? But i think even that is very unusual.

Tropical Guava 2-5 years
Dragon fruit (Hylocereus sp.) 2-4 years

Just a thought, but wouldn't this information be more useful in a Google doc spreadsheet?

It maybe, but if somebody is searching for this on the web, the google document will not come up as a result. However, if it is written in a thread, it will. Also, people may be more inclined to add what they know.

Gotcha.  That makes sense.
