NO flower size is irrelevant to fruit size... even tho pomelo have the largest citrus flwr and fruit that's inter-species comparison not intra-species.. must say this is accepted conventional
wisdom rather than any actual read study on subject

Hi, did you find the sonoma variety? You wouldn't be able to say where from? Really want one.
Thanks, Harry

The grower is Yamina Collectors Nursery in Monbulk, Victoria. Last year all of their Sonoma graftings failed so I have not been successful in obtaining a Sonoma Davidia yet.

They might have some ready by next Summer so I will be contacting then again at that time but nothing available right now. Cheers!

Yamina still hasn't had any success with their grafted Davidia cultivar so I'm still waiting. However a friend gave me a fruit (pictured) that was currently on his small Davidia tree.

It doesn't seem ripe enough to eat yet although it smells fragrant. Does anyone know how to tell when they are ripe? I suspect Davidia fruits will remain firm like a pear so it will be difficult to tell if it is ready or not. Thanks.

Hello, I have two Davidia's that I have grown from seed off of a Sumona that I had that died. They have a 6 1/2 trunk circumference and are about 8 feet tall. I can't remember when the seeds sprouted but I know it has been awhile. I would like to know what these are worth. Anyone know? I would like to wait until they flower but that can take a long time.
Anyone interested in buying them? I can provide photos if interested.
Thanks,
Tom Woodruff
