Linton says... Hi Jose I don't know the Brazilian name for Spondias dulcis, Hog Plum or Ambarella. What I can tell you is that Ambarella plants can't survive outoors in Winter in Canberra as I have tried to grow them here in Melbourne without much success, and Canberra is even colder. The usual form of Spondias dulcis is a vigorous growing tree so it's not really suitable for growing in pots. If you can find a dwarf variety, or even better, an ultra dwarf Hog Plum, you could grow it in a pot but it would need to be kept indoors or in a heated greenhouse over Winter to survive. They are deciduous and become dormant over Winter and I have found that the soil needs to be kept dry during this time to prevent the roots from dying. Hope this helps. | About the Author Linton NOBLE PARK,3174,VIC 24th July 2016 11:21am #UserID: 2286 Posts: 994 View All Linton's Edible Fruit Trees |

Linton says... Lapsis have been separated at birth...now awaiting! Thinking about a more hardy variety of Hog Plum that might be suitable for growing in Melbourne or Canberra I am having a second attempt at growing Lapsis - Nepalese Hog Plum from seed, as it comes from the cooler foothills of the Himalaya. Last time they all dampened off soon after sprouting and none survived, but this year they are all still going strong. As with the previous time, they all sprouted multiple trunks so it has always been a quandary whether to remove these additional stems or not. So I yanked on some of them and they came out easily with some small roots attached so these have been replanted. It will be good if the Lapsi sprouts can be separated at birth so that 3 or 4 plants can be grown from each seed....only time will tell. To be continued.......
