Less than 1 yo and flowering!!

Post by greenfig »

Rooted last year in June, and I see 2 flowers today.
That’s incredible, I think it’s a record.
From a cutting to flowers in less than 1 year.
The pot is 1 gal

I have to admit, my initial reaction was that (if pollinated) it's going to look like the tree from A Charlie Brown Christmas come Fall. ;)

I am going to place the pot next to the large flowering poms, just in case a flower is female and needs to be pollinated.
Probably not the greatest idea in the world though, the fruit will be as heavy as a pot :) and the plant will be stunned if survives at all :(
