Rob19 says... Hi Sy, I'm growing three jabo's in pots in Melbourne and whilst they are very slow growing they don't seem to be bothered by the cold. I never move mine or protect them and even the recent frost a few months back didn't seem to affect them. Mine are seedlings and they seem to like a fair bit of water and a good sprinkling of blood and bone here and there. Just don't expect a full size tree in a few years. I think mine might be three years old and the biggest one is about 60-70cm tall. I've had less luck with the acerola. I'm on to my second one after the first died in some cold weather and this one looks pretty sad too. To be honest it doesn't get a tone of love so I wouldn't say it can't be grown but unlike the jabo's I'm not sure they can be neglected unless you find a really nice microclimate in your garden. Good luck! | About the Author Rob19 WEST FOOTSCRAY,3012,VIC 10th September 2015 2:06pm #UserID: 6645 Posts: 51 View All Rob19's Edible Fruit Trees |
