Growing Green Monkey Orange - Strychnos spinosa and Black Monkey Orange - Strychnos madagascariensis.

They are both very hardy of hot, dry conditions and can grow in sand and poor rocky soil. They produce yellow fruits that taste like apricots if dried.

Dwarf Orange - Cara Cara (Grafted)

Comments: -

Plant arrived in Feb 2020 in great condition with soil still damp. Will plant this into a pot after 1-2 weeks outside and provide updates.

May 2020 - Has had one flush of growth since potting - new growth was damaged by citrus leafminer. 

Sping 2020 - Flowered & set fruit which later dropped.

September 2021 - Is now in 25L pot. Has put on a flush of new growth and flowers (will knock these off). Has grown the fastest of my dwarf citrus - likely would have grown more if not allowed to set fruit last year. Has survived 2x Toowoomba winters outside (under shade cloth so frost couldn't settle).
