Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: How to make a monstera fruit indoors?

Yeah mine is basically a bush growing along the western base of a wall, doesn't seem interested in climbing the wall though. I've seen other bush types fruiting at nurseries/gardens as well.

For what it's worth my outdoors monstera is fruiting for the first time now and it's about 3 ft tall and 15 sq ft ground area. The plant is probably about 7 years old, but it was indoors in a 5 gallon pot for 4 of those years.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: White sapote cold-hardness?
« on: February 05, 2026, 08:40:54 PM »
Not related to cold damage, but I cut the tap root entirely off of two seedling white sapotes in 7 gallon pots in an attempt to stunt them, and both defoliated completely but regrew leaves after about a year. I did notice that they had leaf buds show up pretty early on and laid dormant for about 9 months. So if the buds show up, there could be hope even if it looks like a stick for quite some time.

Hi Janet, very kind of you! I'm interested in the Taiwanese purple seeds.

Hi Kaz,

Can you post a picture or describe the typical new leaf growth of the pluerry? From what I've read the Spice Zee Nectaplum is supposed to have bright red new leaves, which may be helpful to differentiate the two if the flowers don't develop this year.

That's a huge bummer. You've made such an amazing food forest there with a lot of hard work. Happy to help in any way we can, and wishing you good luck on finding a new place to settle in.
