Yes , fast fruiting first fruit in 3 years from seed , plant is now about 60 cm tall , planted in full sun next to my Plinia rivularis , likes lots of water.... I had quite a few plants but they were sold as cabelluda while I was visiting my daughter in Belgium ....&^*(&%%$@.....
I have a couple seedlings, they are doing alright.
Thank you Adam.These were repotted into what I think to be the best quality acidic mix about a month back from the original seed raising mix. Will they be able to handle another repot? I'm not the most experienced gardener so am scared of losing them.
About two years since grafting, no fruit yet, but I'm waiting patiently. Has anyone fruited one of these recently?
I have a one foot tall one in a tree pot.
If they set fruit at such a small size I might just leave this 3 footer in a pot

super fun to grow, fruits in about 3-5yr from seed, mine did it in 4yrs, i have two of them.no fruit set the first year, but now 5th year flowering like crazy.very resilient, concerning humidity, heat, and flooding...easy to fruit in a pot for many years.I luv these trees, can't wait to taste fruits, I've tasted strigipes, and glazioviana, both of which i enjoy....here is one for sale now on ebay, i don't have many to sell now...https://www.ebay.com/itm/VERY-RARE-Myrciaria-guaquiea-Guaquica-seedling-Very-Few-available-FOR-SALE/193757807891?hash=item2d1cdd8513:g:nPkAAOSw37tftvyp
