They should do well on reds.
Unfortunately it is sold already.

I’m curious why you guys use a medium of peat and perlite. What are the roots supposed to feed off of?  We use our potting medium that has clay, sand, manure and coir. No issues and the roots develop in a medium more similar to where the trees will be eventually planted.

Will these graft to Red Hybrid?  If so I'll take them.    Never tried grafting Jabos and we only have Reds available to graft too.

I always hear that Garcinias benefit from it because they have long fragile taproots and not many lateral branches.  These are the only plants I keep in tall pots, everything else I try to go wider than tall.

I have 3 very large mature plants grown from seed acquired from Miguel in Portugal.
The fruit is very juicy and quite sweet with a nice balance of sweet and tart. Delicious!
I haven't been so fortunate to try any others.

Nice. I also have a variegated volkamer and I have it in a pot for much longer, still no flowers or fruit yet. i think mine was a cutting.

Why do you think they are taking forever to fruit?

Hi everyone, and thanks for your various feedbacks.

A quick update on my rooted leaves:

I repoted them a few weeks back in order to expose the stem and give them more space.

I'm still waiting for the shoots 🤞






In the first picture are some navel oranges leaves, collected from fruits in a shop.

In the second pictures are some  tahitien lime leaves,  collected from a tree.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Fruit trees in tall pots
« Last post by billm on Today at 06:21:38 AM »
Hi everyone, which fruit tree species benefit from growing in a tall pot/container in your experience?  It seems like a good idea but it hasn't seemed to make much difference in my limited experience even for trees that have a long tap-root.

I'm in zone 6 so sub-tropical species will be staying in containers long-term.  With temperate species that are grown in tall pots, it's been harder to transplant them cleanly once they are going in the ground compared to "normal" pots.
