Satsuma plum not growing (forum)

Dave starts with ...
Hi everyone,

I purchased this Satsuma Plum from Daleys along with a Miracle Fruit about a month and a half ago, where I have repotted the plum into a 43cm pot.

The plum has not shown any signs of growth since then, where I thought initially it was due to transport shock, but I figured after a month it should of overcome this.

I have included pictures of the tree, where it can be noticed that it looks like something is eating away at the leaves, which could be normal.

Is this something I should be concerned about or should I just give it some more time?

Cheers,

Dave

Well winter is approaching and your plum tree is deciduous so i doubt its going to put any growth on for you until spring. As for the miracle fruit - its tropical and will be very slow growing for you in adelaide.

Hope this helps, Rich

Thanks Rich, ok I guess I'll just wait it out and see how it progresses.

As for the Miracle Fruit I've actually created a tropical enclosure for it and although its growing slow, its doing really well. I have included some pictures as well. At the moment the enclosure is just holding in the humidity, but I'm joining my 2 passions together, computer engineering and fruit trees, where I'm designing a computer microcontroller to control and simulate a tropical environment, by generating wind, rain and heat in the enclosure. I plan to have this done as it starts to cool down here.
