Jim, thank you for the new photo of de monte. It's good to know that there are plants in PR that are descended of your good tree that died.
I am just wondering why you never decided to replace your original tree, since your neighbor's tree is inferior? Have you gone back to the spot in the wild where you found it? Please offer such seeds again, since it is so valuable to us zonepushers to have germlines from high altitudes.
Regards
