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.
