Re: Dwarf Namwah!!!
Bo ------ Last year I let the DN mat branch out by running 2 main pstems. Had to cut the mains down due to the 2 cold snaps. Both had fruit hanging. Right now each main stump has sprouted 5 thick robust pups. They are like 5" in diameter at ground level and only 3' tall. Produced only one or two sword leaves and then went right to fat true leaves. The biggest pup will give this years fruit.
The D Namwah has proved to be the best and most robust cultivar for my area. I have a list of customers waiting for them since I joined a local tropical fruit tree club. Last week had 5 visits in 2 days and they took away 12 of the real big guys - DN, RP and DB that were too big to mail.
Hope yours take off well. Being close to water should give you the edge for when it gets cold.
