I am fruiting this for the first time now. You sure you want it? Pretty astringent. I can get you seeds out of my next fruit. It is definitively worse than strawberry guava.
We keep our lychee leaves. They make a good mulch and put nutrients back into the soil. The only readon you would remove leaves is if they are harboring a pathogen of some kind.
BabacoIs babaco really worth growing over other things in a limited space?
For me, no, but papayas in general have those fluffy white roots that don't seem all that bothered about space.
I will respectfully disagree that a 25 gallon pot isn't big enough for all but "true" trees with hard wood trunks, and even then, a 15g is probably adequate with enough root pruning. Eugenias and jabos do just fine long term in pots, even with minimal root pruning. You're going to need to root prune periodically and honestly, even a 25g pot can become unwieldy. Not sure how to handle those big wood boxes unless you're peeling off a side of it to prune, then putting it back on?
Here is a photo from a grower named Theme Linh, who is somewhat famous on the FB message boards for growing insanely big plants in comically small pots. She has to put all her stuff in greenhouses as she's in Texas.
