Soil light temperature and fertilization all play a role. My lychee seedling also seem to be slow growing had them for about a year and just reached about 6inches. Make sure the soil is well draining.

Just got some untreated oak wood shavings and am wondering if it is any good to put in potting mix. I know oak is high in tannins. Is there any benefit of putting it in potting mix?

Take it outside. Even in zone 6 it is warm enough in the summer to let them outside. Just make sure it doesnt get shocked, put it in partial shade.

Is it a seedling? They sometimes take a long time to fruit. I got a 3 gallon at PIN last year and it already flowered.

I have eaten only store bought mameys, and thought the store fruit guality is generally very poor ,I really liked it ,a unique taste, very sweet .i'd imagine a tree ripened mamey to be heavenly ...

If they are picked before they are ripe, they will never reach full flavor.

Plantinyum, I am pretty sure the gooseberries died because I neglected them and planted it in heavy shade. Maybe I will try growing them again.

Impressive collection! I hear that you need to thin around 80% of the peaches for big fruits. As for my trees I don't bother thinning because the squirrels eat all the fruit. $:-\$ I have always wanted to try gooseberries, but my plant died

I was also looking for a nice size one and found it here, Hawaiian Tropical Plants Nursery (https://www.store.hawaiiantropicalplants.com/searchquick-submit.sc?keywords=garciniania+humilis)
Got the plant yesterday as described on the website. The plant is 38 inches tall, about 2 years old and for $47.50, it's a real nice bargain and couldn't find that anywhere else.
