It was/is about 1.5m tall. I put it into my shade house and it has never looked back - even gave me a half dozen fruit! I wasn't very gentle with the shovel either...so I hope it doesn't up and die down the track too, but so far so good.<br /><br /><br />(I live in a very hot but semi-arid climate in Western Australia - they do well here)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6266956132713397509.post-26745741776025955762010-06-05T12:36:21.442-04:002010-06-05T12:36:21.442-04:00While at Excalibur you might want to check out som...While at Excalibur you might want to check out some of the other excellent Eugenia's / Myrtaceous fruits.<br /><br />Pitomba<br />Cherry of the Rio Grande<br />Grumichama<br />JaboticabaThe Budget Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07620870316917511992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6266956132713397509.post-53021991420045400252010-06-03T21:15:52.206-04:002010-06-03T21:15:52.206-04:00Thanks.

Make a list of everything you're interested in.<br /><br />Then when you get there, you can present them your list and ask their honest opinion if it will do well in your area, what they think of the fruit, their recommendations etc.<br /><br />Also compile a list of questions on existing plants you may have a problem with. They are very knowledgeable and eager to help.<br /><br />While you are there also be sure to buy a bag of their special fertilizer.<br /><br />Mounts Botanical Garden is close by, so you might want to make a quick stop there too.The Budget Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07620870316917511992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6266956132713397509.post-63942193807107387762010-06-03T09:31:41.240-04:002010-06-03T09:31:41.240-04:00Where do you buy your grumichama, Excalibur?
