Is this a fruit forming? inga edulis / ice cream bean

(1/5) > >>

brian:
I have a container ice cream bean that has flowered bunch of times over the past year or two but never set fruit.  Today I noticed this growth... is this the start of a fruit pod?  I see a bit of black on them so even they are fruitlets they might drop quickly.

I only have one mature inga so there is no cross pollination.  I started lazily hand-pollinating this spring by simply running my finger across all the flowers when I saw them, as the bees didn't seem interested in the inga flowers.

brian:
Yes!  these pods are growing and starting to look like small peapods.  I hope they hold

Timbogrow:
Thats exciting man! Keep updating us all.  I can barely wait til my trees set fruit. They have been flowering like crazy!

brian:
The pods are growing steadily

MadFarm:
Congrats. How tall is the tree, and how old?
