Beautify freakin' trees Oscar!
I have seen trees 3-4m tall in Cairns and, truth be told, they resemble an ugly citrus to my eye.
Here is a Luc's breaking through on an Imbe seedling and also are these growths vegetative coming through on a Lucs?
Quick update: The smallest of my three largest trees just budded out for the first time. These trees are in 15 gallon pots and 8 years old. Spotted about 7 buds so far along with a real strong flush of new vegetative growth after some pretty heavy rainfall these past few weeks in Western Broward. waiting anxiously...
Here is a pic of new flowers and a fruit from a prior flowering a few months ago. I think the fruit will abort as it has not really grown.

Flowers have started opening. Over 100 female flowers have opened and only 2 males. Hoping the headlines I have been seeing about a single donor fathering dozens can apply. I have also observed that sex can be determined by the shape before the flower opens. Males are round and females are an upside-down pear shape. I see ants on the flowers. If the wind is not blowing, I can smell the flowers. I am not a smell the flowers type of guy but it reminds me of gardenias.
Have some trees at same time as flushing leaf growth also flowering very heavily. But looks like most of the flowers are males.
