I found a neglected Wax Jambo at the back of the fruit tree area at a local nursery a few years ago. This one fruited after 2 years of being in the ground. It looked like it was in the nursery bag for probably 2 years before that. Im my climate, the tree has a small growth spurt late spring and will fruit around February.

Wow, Great pics John Mc, I'm definitly trying it out. Btw, is winter a problem for these plants, will they cope? Im in NSW, and winter can be quite cold but not overly freezing.

John Mc how's your wax jambu growing? I am wondering if it would do OK on the lower north shore of Sydney? Can it be grown in a pot?

Hey Mary,
It's going good here. I have two and they do get a little neglected, they're a little out of the way. I think they'd do well in a pot for quite a few years, mine are around 3-4 y/o and could easily be still in a 10" pot.

That sounds great John Mc; I can order one from Daleys as I am waiting for an order to be filled.
