How long did they take to flower?
I have three Kei Apple plants up to 2m high, but none have flowered yet.

I think it took 5 or 6 years ,a long time, anyway. They grow from cuttings . Do you want to swap cuttings . Chances are that we will end up with at least one male and one female.

Yeah, sure, you in NSW? what's best, 6 to 8" tip cuttings? Three cuttings off each tree? Probably have to wait till it warms up, around November I'd suspect.
I can be contacted here for a swap:

I did a bit of research and it seems hardwood is the go. No harm in trying new growth, as well. I have 2 large trees and can swap any size or number for yours.

I have just chopped down my kei apples and dug up the stumps with some roots attached. They are sexed- one female and three males. The female has been very productive. I think there is a fair chance that they will survive and grow if planted, the female and one male are in a container of water and is sprouting shoots.

Does anyone want them? You can have them for free (collect from Western Brisbane).

I got rid of them because they are very thorny and the fruit is fairly sour- good for chutney and jam, but not eating fresh. I don't have room for them, but someone with more space might want them.
