Instructions
- As mentioned above, if you’re interested in growing mamey trees, you need to live in a tropical climate for best results.
- You can also grow a mamey tree in a greenhouse. Do keep in mind that it grows quite tall so you’ll need lots of room.
- The mamey tree is not too picky about the kind of soil you plant it in, but seeds must be propagated.
- The seeds will take about two months to germinate.
- Cuttings or graftings can be used as well.
- Water the seedling on a regular basis and make sure it’s in a sunny spot.
- As long as your mamey tree is in a sunny and warm spot, it doesn’t need much care.
- The tree will take about 6-10 years to bear fruit.
