Love your video and how small you are able to keep your tree! Mine is soooo tall and only has a few branches, so I’m thinking about taking cuttings and starting over (if possible). Can you give me some pruning tips to make it more bushy? Thanks so much!😊
@@jaygee3326 Hi Jay, Yeah they do take off in spring and summer. They grow very fast! I only planted mine mid last year, and we had so many berries on it! I have mine in a pot at the moment, but I'm going to try to find a place to plant it in the ground, they REALLY take off then! (like most things do) The guy I got mine off planted his in the ground the same time I planted mine in the pot, and his is literally twice the size of mine (4 mtrs tall and about 2 mtrs wide, compaired to 2 mtrs tall and about 1mtr wide in the pot). ;D
@@Fuzzinutt hey again, that is awsome! I came by this plant by accident on youtube and have since watched almost every video containing it 😂 Id love to grow it in the ground but we are renting were we live so im trying to keep most of mu fruit trees and plants in large containers so when we move they can come with us. I might get a second one and plant it at my parents place, not sure how happy with will be when it grows that large though haha! Ive put mine in the largest pot i could find (50cm) they had a even larger pot but once put in that its impossible to move or carry lol!
we call them "capulines " or "puam" here in México these is a native tree, some give yellow fruits and others give the red ones..during the colony of New Spain it was sent to Philipines. I have a big tree in my yard actually, never water it but still keeps giving fruit like crazy lol The little fruit has a lor of nutricional and medical properties , was used by mexican indigenous since long ago
Did you ever attempt? They are actually simple.Just sprinkle on moist soil and put in a zip lock baggy. put in sunny location.Within about 2 weeks you will start to see some seedling..I am zone 6 ,, they are patio tropical which means it is not winter hardy like its sister plant which is also called a strawberry tree which is cold hardy.These will need to be brought in winter..I am currently addicted to growing them from seeds.
Can anyone help me, my jamicain cherry plant is 1.5-2 year old and of about 6-7 feet tall, Even though it has produce alot of buds but most don't bloom, and if they does , after flowering it just dry up, without giving a single fruit 😔
@@gardenofluma9697 I am in south Florida , sunrise , it’s an ideal location , I’ve seen really big one , but my potted in has barely grown , I think one or 2 inches since I got it , I think I have a more organic soil mix , I think manure and mulch , I might try adding a more sandy mix ? Since you said cactus soil
this tree grows wild and abundant in indonesia. birds spread the seeds. they grow fast and big.
How to plant?
I have seeds I am trying to grow. How do you germinate these seeds

Those are very common here in the Philippines they are called aratiles very easy t9 grow.. birds loves to eat their fruits and good for diabetis.
interesting, thanks
will it survive winter time? because im from virginia, and it gets really cold here
We call it a Panama Berry in Australia for some reason! ;/ Taste like fruit loops to us, just yummo!
Im trying to grow one here in australia too, do they take off during spring and summer? As i purchased and potted mine just before winter

What is the taste difference between the yellow and red ?
Capuline are different they grow in bunches of flowers not individual ones like muntingia calabura
Someone mailed me a bunch of these seeds. How do I start them?! I am zone 6b but I plan to grow it indoors

This plant grows wild in Jamaica lots of them are here birds mostly eat them
we called it aratiles in Philippines
Nicel Derla nice ive never heard that before
@@gardenofluma9697 👍it's growing wild here in our country
Do they sell powder over there?
I've heard there's a rare version of this tree that has a yellow berry? Does anybody know is that's true or not?
Devin Jones I’m not sure
Yeah
Rain 5 times only a year!!! 😱we get rain all the time
how long did it take to bear fruit?
ind p it fruited one the first year
Wow any tips, I have a cutting from the internet , it’s been 5 months and it’s only 8 inches tall , what type of soils did you use
@@marxalbertgedeon where you located? They grow rapidly in hot weather. I use a cactus mix in a container.

@@marxalbertgedeon yeah you could try adding sand for drainage but I would think it still would’ve taken off in Florida
