I’m nearly to pack all my container timber into the greenhouse so it appeared like an excellent alternative to take a number of footage earlier than it will get crowded in there.
Marang (artocarpus odoratissimus)
Simply over 6ft tall. This one seemed haggard popping out of winter however changed all of its leaves and is trying higher than ever. Some leaves are practically 2ft lengthy. It has good branching and is bushy sufficient I’ll preserve telling myself I can preserve it below management, despite the fact that I believe it can change into unmanageable with a 12 months or two.
Jackfruit (artocarpus heterophyllus) ‘Golden Nugget’
10+ft tall. It flowered the prior 12 months however not this 12 months, undecided why. It stays extraordinarily wholesome, I count on it can decide again up in spring. I simply pruned it closely for the second or third time this 12 months.
Kwai Muk (artocarpus hypargyreus)
10+ft tall. No flowers but, undecided when it can begin however it appears to be like nice. It was trying sparse in its decrease branches on one aspect the place it acquired a whole lot of shade however has stuffed in a bit. I’ve to maintain pruning the very prime because it needs to develop top-heavy.
Cempedak (artocarpus integer)
14in tall. This factor is greater than two years outdated however extremely gradual rising, although it all the time appears to be like wholesome.
Keledang (artocarpus lanceifolius)
1inch tall . I began a bunch of seeds, of the six or in order that put out leaves that is the one remaining one. They appear vulnerable to damping off, hoping this one survives.
I had a pleasant pedalai (artocarpus sericicarpus), too, however I deserted it once I realized how large they get and the way lengthy to fruit.
All these timber are in-ground besides the keledang. The greenhouse ceiling permits timber within the heart row to achieve about 12ft earlier than they begin hitting the followers
