You remember correctly. He does indeed say that. Considering the size and scope of his Garcinia collection, I certainly trust his expertise on the matter. It means that I have a male Imbe. Of course, even with one plant I (or anyone else with only a male plant) could get lucky and get some fruit. Adam Shafran has only one Imbe, a male, that also produces a small number of female flowers. If I remember correctly from one of his many videos, he talked about how it is common for male Imbes to produce a small number of female flowers but that female plants never produce male flowers.
Will the females still set fruit with no male pollination?
I am curious to see this video, do you have a link?
I have few large seedlings, it would be good to compare. I am seeing mix of leaves some are slimmer than others and some more pointed within the same tree/trees:

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Fertilizer and other increases. How is it affecting you how are U adapting?

I also hopped on that Amazon deal at the time and have a few bags of osmocote tucked away.
I’m not agriculture expert by any means but it is alarming. In the southwest we are starting to face water restrictions and I haven’t looked lately on how that might impact food supply on water intensive crops. One thing I did find out is while Brazil is a major food exporter they don’t produce much fertilizer in the country. By the end of the year international food security is likely to become a large concern. I’d reckon that the west will be okay but sub Saharan Africa, Middle East and south east Asia will be heavily effected. From what I recall food insecurity was one of the major factors of the Arab Spring. With everything else going on the world it’s tough to try to look in a crystal ball and make predictions on near future outcomes. But I have probably been locked inside too much due to COVID that I don’t want to be a doomer.

I have a 3 gallon pink wampee tree that I am thinking off getting rid of, not the best for container culture. Is the fruit worth it? To my understanding the pink wampee may be a different species

I killed my only E. Mattasoii a few weeks ago and traded away the few extras I had. Would anyone be interested in a trade for a seedling? I have a lot of plinia seedlings going from trusted online sellers so let me know if you are interested. Have a good weekend
