Lucs Garcinia - Limoncillo (Grafted) 10/10![]() Update: 1447 days 5hrs Comments: - This is a Lucs Garcinia tree grafted onto a Imbe rootstock. It took about 2 months to push the buds through and the scion had flowered immediately after the leaves pushing out which was something remarkable to see in temperate Melborune.

Drumstick Tree ( Moringa ) (Seedling) 10/10![]() Update: 2079 days 4hrs Comments: - Growing very fast this summer 2019 (photo was taken one year ago). Already about 1m tall. All leaves drop in the winter and dies back a little bit and then bounces back stronger when the weather warms up in the late spring. First flowered late autumn last year and didnt hold on when the weather cooled down. 2019 winter - Tree has grown taller than my colourbond fence which is on top of a 600cm retain wall. height is now close to 2m. Extremely fast growing and not bothered at all by the 40degC melbourne summer days. Flowering started earlier than last year (late summer) but no sign of pods forming.
