Is this first fruiting?  That looks like a big tree!  How long did you have to wait?

10 years from seed I assume?  And what is the diameter of the trunk?  Thank you in advance for sharing information!

I think that in the Yucatan you are going to want shade for Kepel and plenty of water..  it tolerates shade better than strong sun I think.

Thanks Peter! I can give plenty of water and definitely have a lot of shade around. Hopefully the alkaline water we have isn't too hard on it. So far so good though!
