That''s weird I think this Indian variety is following the Southern Hemisphere seasons in India.
This is a graft that grew nicely and has 2 branches with flowers on each.
Will see what happens next.

Wow, great job grafting on a Crepe Myrtle! It'll be interesting to see if the Mridula follows a normal flowering pattern next season. How long ago did the grafts take?

Any other info on this variety? I recently heard of an evergreen pomegranate when I visited Laguna Hills Nursery. I wonder if this is similar. They have a variety called "Erin", which is a seedling from a of subtropical/tropical area of Asia. I think I have that right. It is flowering now and might be forming a fruit. I'll see how it goes.

Grafted on 04/28/2020 as it says on the tag. It took under 10 days to see the grows. I was surprised how quickly it got going.

I asked about Mridula earlier in a different thread but didn't get much local info. A web search gets me the Indian links with stock photos mostly.herefiggyfiggy wrote: ↑Sat Oct 24, 2020 10:30 pm Any other info on this variety?

That's incredible! I'm going to be trialing some grafts next season. Hopefully mine take as quickly as yours.

Out of all grafts I tried the best were Vkusnyi, Sin Pepe, Ariana, and Mridula. Very vigorous and good takers. I cannot explain why though, maybe because the mother plants are healthy and vigorous too (except the Mridula since I got the cuttings from someone else)?
