| Positive | carraig | On Nov 2, 2009, carraig from Rockport, TX wrote: I discovered this plant while in Iraq where I saw that it flourished in the heat and the dry desert climate. After some research I found that it also flourished in the tropics. I acquired this plant for my wife's business on the Texas coast and found they do wonderfully there. The leaves are large and attractive and the tree is easy to prune into a lovely looking specimen. The fruit tastes great and has a multitude of medicinal uses. I also have to disagree with the other poster about the plant's hardiness, as it handles the snow in Iraq (yes, it snows in Iraq) and the winter in Texas just fine. | | Neutral | Monocromatico | On Aug 30, 2003, Monocromatico from Rio de Janeiro
Brazil (Zone 11) wrote:This is a small tree with large, entangled branches. Looking from the ground, it looks a crazy puzzle or a birdīs nest (how we call it). I have no information about the flowers, but the fruits will show up in autumn: marble sized pink, fleshy balls. It grows on acidic, fertilized soils, and needs sun and regular watering. Wonīt tolerate frost. |
