I make sure mine are well watered and in the shade.
Out of the shade here and the leaves turn yellow.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Fruit trees I gave up on
« on: January 02, 2023, 07:26:37 PM »This coming spring I plan on making room in my yard for as yet undetermined varieties.
Slated for the axe are:
Excalibur Mamey. After 12 years of die back and no fruit, this one goes for sure.
That’s too bad . Our Excalibur mamey has fruited and it’s outstanding, albeit a slow growing/compact tree (which I suppose is a benefit to some). Very bright red flesh too.
Are you growing other mamey varieties? I ask because some don’t self pollinate well.
Planted one of these today and hope I have the experience with this mamey Alex had.

For me its Mamey. Especially since any I get from the stores I think are used to practice punts before putting out. Most people where I live also have no clue what they are.

« on: October 16, 2022, 03:16:46 AM »Is M4 available to buy trees or scions? I don't think I have that one but will have to see if Simon planted any m4 seeds here. It doesnt have a name yet? Are people not supposed to have it growing or ?
M4 is definitionally available for sale to the public.

Doubt it will kill the trees but it might affect how much fruit you get.
