Bamboozled by the Boldo! (forum)
1 responses
Linton starts with ...
Peumo boldus commonly known as boldo is a Chilean fruit tree in the Monimiaceae family has got me bamboozled so I need your help. The problem is, that this species is dioecious and while my trees flower profusely they have never produced any of the sweet and aromatic yellow green Boldo fruits.
Having closely inspected the flowers it seems like most of my trees are males and there is only one plant with flowers that are different to the others and looks more like the female flowers. These flowers haven’t quite opened yet, while the male flowers that had yellow stamens before have all just about finished, so this has me even more bamboozled. Do you think that the flowers in the pictures that are still closed are female flowers and how can I solve the problem of pollination so that they will bear fruit. Please help to unbamboozle me from this dilemma. Yours in anticipation. L.
