OK, so its not actually my garden, its a friend's in town, but it is still pretty exciting to see this relatively large basjoo mat, 3rd season in the ground, pushing a flower.
Maybe a dumb couple of questions, but I am wondering if
1) they are self fertile given that female and male flowers come out at different times and
2) how long might it take for the fruit to mature - I am hoping to score some seeds
This plant gets all day sun, literally from dawn to dusk, the days are pretty long up here this time of year and the daytime temps will be good for the next 2 months with night time temps cooling off (dipping below 50 degrees) towards the end of August . Might there be a possibility he will see mature fruit?
