Guayaba, thanks for the website.. I ordered something from them a few years back, and it was really small for a 3 gallon (especially for their price + shipping).. can you show me a picture that you have? How is your star apple doing? Maybe I should just buy some fruit from you instead
That's a good size for a "3 gallon" .. looks more like 7 gallon. but it's still pretty expensive.. total is about $134 from Plantogram.Thanks for sharing the pictures.. good luck and hope you get fruit next year.. it might take at least 3 years but you never know..

Maybe I should just buy some fruit from you instead The Caimito is doing okay. I bought it in March and it has been outside since then. It has a few mangled leaves from transport and it went into some shock when I transplanted it. The pot they had it in was too small for it to survive well outdoors here. It has perked up since I re-potted it and is just now starting to grow. I would be glad to share Caimito fruit with you . It may take several years before it can fruit and it really is marginal, so first up is getting it to survive outdoors through winter. Baby steps!Green CaimotoNew GrowthMy green star Apple was almost double the height of your tree. I was so happy when it bloomed. However, it did not set fruits. the winter 2015, the trunk died back more than haft of its original size. Now it appear like a bush than a tree. I have a few blooms last year, but never made it through the cold. I have a feeling it will not never set fruits. Please let us know When you tree sets fruit
Get you a green one and then add some scions later. Easy and cheap to send a few scions.
This is the current bush
