Growing well in FNQ Wet Tropics. Plant looks wilted after planting for the last few weeks. I ordered 3 others from another company (I didn't realise they are dioecious). All of those survived well and are fully thriving. This one is still struggling and limp-ing along. Growing in FNQ Wet Tropics.

We have ~40 yo trees planted as street trees here. They cope well with strong southerly winds & are now buttressing up on the root zone. Great shade tree. I am currently growing more from seed to extend the plantation.

Our Kaffir Plum in Perth WA is a large, fast growing tree, which has sprouted about 2m of new growth each year. It is taller than our 2 story house now - at 7 yrs old it has a spread of 8m by 7m.Excellent shade tree, very smart growth habit.

Give them plenty of room. Mine is at least 20 metres tall and about the same wide.Sulphur Crested Cockatoos make an absolute mess with the fruit and leaves. You will be raking up daily for months once the fruit develops if you have those birds around.

Give this tree plenty of space to grow. I live in the Swan Valley in Perth and my tree is approx 10m high and 10m wide. It is loaded with fruit and picking season for us starts October.
