Pulasan Flowers Male, Female, or hermaphrodite? (Pic in post 8)
« on: November 23, 2016, 12:18:32 PM »
These seem to be pushing pretty quick now. I'm excited to see the sex of the flowers. There is about a week time span between the first and second pics. It is a grafted tree but I don't know the variety of the tree that the bud wood was originally sourced from. I'm hoping between this one and the seebabat I'll get some pollination and fruit set in the future. It's going to hurt to cut the flowers off this one but I'm hoping it might be big enough to hold a few fruit next season

Way to go, man. You're gonna' have a lot of jealous friends when you get fruit. You may need to upgrade the security on your property. Lol

Definitely in the greenhouse. Heater goes on anytime it's below 60

I'll be putting a seedling heat mat beneath mine with a thermostat for when I drop the GH temps down.

Flowers are opening. I'm assuming they are either female or hermaphodite but I can't find much online to compare

Pulasan flowers are very similar to rambutan flowers. I compared your photo to a photo i have of hermaphrodite rambutan flowers and they look like very similar to those hermaphrodite flowers.

I'm hoping that but I don't notice any pollen so I'm not sure. I have a seebabat too that is just recovering from bare rooting so no flowers. Seebabat is supposed to be self fertile right?

Grafted Seebabat is usually hermaphrodite.

Not much to the tree. Just a recently approach grafted tree that's been in the ground a few months. I'll be cutting the flowers off once the leaves on the panicles harden off.
