Ambarella, Dwarf June Plum

My dwarf ambarella tree. This was taken right after I planted it in the ground. It took off, even in rock hard clay soil.

this is the same plant a year later. It's almost as tall as the wall.

  1. hi, does it survive the snow last year? Do you have to cover it or anything in winter? Thank you

  2. I didn't do anything to it. The snow killed it down to the ground, and it took a little longer to revive than previous years, but it did survive. I do recommend mounding mulch on the base as high as possible to protect the base during really cold years.

  3. Do you know if it comes true from seed? I see plenty of people offering seeds for sale, but all the people growing them seem to have bought them as a plant. Not being in the US, I can't find any dwarf plants to buy.

  4. hi OzPolly, the dwarfs are normally grown from seed, there isn't much variation. And they will fruit w/in one year from seed, so it's worth it. Give it a try!
