Hi Nirmala tricky answer with Surinam cherries lol, could be a year, or 5 years or never haha, they can have unpredictable genetics from seed. Even if they flower they aren’t always self fertile but as I have at least 3 left ( I sold my 7 foot tall fruiting Surinam cherry plant last week to make space ) so they should cross pollinate when they all flower 😁
Nice seedlings Brett a few years away from fruit. I have a metre tall Grafted Black Beauty that only had a couple flowers start of leafing back out early spring still too cold to set. Any tricks to get it flowering in summer soon? A mate had black star but he's given up trying to fruit. I have a quite large leaf seedling that's about 8yo also refusing to set. Hoping the Grumis and CORG start flowering soon. Oh got cutting dwarf Grumis thats looking good
I’m not sure of any tricks or tips although keeping the roots in smaller pots may well help and cool in winter. I have another seedling this size that had a flower on in Spring this year so these might get a flower or two next Spring 🤞. Of course growing from seed they might end up not producing black fruit 😬
@melbournesubtropicfruits9474 lol I’m lazy to feed plants I must admit, I’ve just been too busy this year with health issues of course so lots of plants have been neglected 😬
Both appear to be nice and healthy and growing well, Brett 👍
Yes looking good so far Peter and
they generally seem to hold up quite well over Winter 😁
Looks very healthy
How long more do you have to wait before you get fruit?
