Hi Lala,
They are VERY slow growing the first year... so don't let that worry you.
They are also sensitive to too much Nitrogen.
So you might want to give them plant food at 1/2 the normal dose for the first year
Your soil sounds fine. These plants really require a lot of patience.
By the 3rd year they should be taking-off!
Mine are growing in 20 gallon nursery bags and nearing 10ft tall.
Good Luck!

They are easily the most reliable fruit I grow... followed by Persimmons.

I get all my citrus from Brite Leaf in FL:

Good too hear Pat...
What are your plans... grafting or rooting? Both?
Let me know how it works out... and good luck!

Kevin

5 and 20 gallon containers.
They bloom in both... 20 gallon needs watering less often.

No root pruning.

Just the basics.
Daily watering.
Frequent fertilizing and full sun.

Kevin

I'll be doing another cutting of the Barbie Pink Guavas next Monday... so let me know if you still need more.
Thanks.

Kaz... what is your advice for picking and ripening Persimmons that have turned orange... but are still pretty hard.
Birds. etc make it impossible for me to tree ripen without some type of physical barrier.
Netting stops birds... but not raccoons or possums.
Thanks.
Kevin

Thee will ship starting next Monday via UPS... Thanks.
