As to the advertising by Logee's that this plant is "dwarf", the form that they are selling is presumably the dwarf form. As I stated earlier, Ambarella had a dwarf and a tree form. The dwarf form can bloom in nine months from transplanting at 12 inches high, while the tree form blooms at least 24 months and at least 7 to 8 feet high.
The photo of a
Dwarf Ambarella in my earlier post attest to the
height at which it will begin to fruit. So, Logee's ad is not a come on, at least from the standpoint of size.
I am somewhat intrigued by this plant as to how there could be a dwarf and a tall form of the same fruit. And I can talk about my theories about how this can be, but it's better if I can have more information to back them up.
