rollinia growing tips

[cape coral Bob]

Can anyone give me some tips on growing rollinia?  how much sun do they like? feeding? pruning?

They like lots of sun, lots of water, and flower and fruit better when fertilized. My compost bin started leaking into the root field. Better flowering followed, along with fruits.

Thanx Roblack… That's very useful advice for any of us who're trying to grow a biribá!

Mine is getting two of the requirements: full sun & lotsa water.

Mine bloomed finally late spring this year but set no fruit. (I'm guessing that was a 'trial run'.)

Obviously I'm going to have to feed it more generously.

Cheers!

WHAT FERTILIZERS AND IN WHAT CONCENTRATION DO YOU RECOMMEND?

How old is it? 

To answer your question Filoz, my biribá is about five, maybe six, years old now with a trunk
about two inches in diameter.  It is between six and seven feet tall in a 10 gallon pot.

Gets plenty of water but is allowed ti dry out slightly every so often.

OK — HTH

Kitchen compost mixed with old leafs and garden waste is what I've used. Fertilizer works too, but I'm not sure which ones to recommend.
