Re: AeAe fruiting and 33 degrees coming
Well, where do I start? It got cold for most us last winter. I lost a ten year old fruiting Hawaiian guava tree, a Thai papaya and several bromeliads. The one mat of three large AeAe's started to look unhappy. The three largest being 12 plus footers I thought for sure were goners. Two of them have come back and have thrown huge variegated leaves. The fruiting AeAe produced fruit but they never fully developed :-(. This mat gets partial sun and really hasn't done as well in its current location. I have another mat of AeAe's in my front yard that gets full sun. These have grown faster and I hope to have better results with fruit.
This is another reason to move to Hawaii! Harvey, I did see two AeAe's for sale in Kona two weeks ago at a nursery I go to a lot. Maybe I don't have to bring any with me next year.
