I want my mamey ?

I know we have a lot of people here in tropical climates,but has anybody here ever tried a mamey?



I can't keep my tropicals in the house,because there is no way I can keep my cats away from them,so they spend the winter in a garage wiith an electric heater.Like much of the US,it's been colder than usual this winter in New Mexico.For a few dayis in December,I had the power go out,and I had some cold damage to the foliage one each of my ficus,and oranges.I also lost a whole bunch of tropical seedlings like cherimoya,and durians,that I had a difficult time getting to germinate.

According to this it should have also killed the mamey I had come up.

Climate

The mamey is limited to tropical or near-tropical climates. In Central America, it thrives from near sea-level to 3,300 ft (1,000 m). Three trees at the Agricultural Research and Education Center, Homestead, in southern Florida, were killed by a temperature drop to 28º F (-2.22º C) in January 1940.

But it didn't even singe the leaves,even though for a couple days there was a dusting of frost on the soil.Obviously these guys are hardier than you'd think.My leaves are about half this size.



so they may get even smaller.

wow, so are those weird things you can pick off the tree are edible!?
I always wandered what those trees were and those weird potato-looking things were
so much I took one home and studied it and made cool carvings on it and preserved in my freezer
