Up potted my seedling plant. Currently flushing new growth

Nick, your seedling looks very healthy, will you be putting it into the ground eventually?

Thanks Ben, yes I’m definitely super stoked!

Jeramy, I’d agree it’s probably time to put that male on there. If you graft it soon, hopefully it will produce pollen for you next year.

Unfortunately going to stay container  bound, gets too cold out here

Ugh, they are dioecious?  I didn't even realize

I always thought they were self fertile

I already brought out my avocado, some citrus, Surinam cherry , mountain papaya, Kwai muk, and guavas. Went down to 31 last night and everything is fine 

How old is the guabiju, and how large? My seedlings are a few years old but they get tip burn every winter and then don't start growing until late spring, so they are still very small (6 inches tall at most). I'm very impressed with their hardiness (only tip burn and a few dead leaves from 15°F), but figured they won't flower for many years at this rate.

If I had to guess probably 3-4 years old. In desperate need of a repotting too

My calycina made tiny aborted seed fruit when it was alone. With friends it made full size, full seed fruit.

My guabiju flowered last year, but did not set any fruit, so I added a few scions from another member to it to see if that helps.

If you need some scions lmk

Shit, alright my CORG is a few steps behind so maybe they’ll flower on the same time schedule later in the season lol

And cool I appreciate that. I’ll keep you posted. Tree is actually pretty small still maybe only 2.5’

Second the spider mites on the jackfruit

In my experience growing starfruit in containers it absolutely hated too much water

Dude you gota chill out with spamming the forum with these Help Me posts. You literally made a post about this exact issue a few days ago. People provided you their assurance that these kind of wait times are perfectly normal. If you don’t want to take their word the least you can do is just follow up on the thread you previously started

Not in Florida but I have a small seedling going

Sun dragon is loaded with flowers right now

So I regrafted everything with different tape. Bagged them, and put the potts in the sun 🌞 to wake these mfers up. Will keep you updated.

Tape, bag, and full sun might be a recipe for disaster. I’d  move to partial sun  and probably ditch the bag

It very well could...I have seen trees smaller than that fruit, but they were rooted cuttings.
As for taste, it is a mid fruit, but looks very interesting.
Sweet but weird texture as it's very slimy.
I put a few in a bag and a few hours later they basically turned to water.

It’d be cool to even just see it flower. When I dug it up last year I chopped it in half so I’m thinking this thing will easily hit the over 10’ mark this season
