My maprang is just starting to flower. I’ve had it for two years and it’s about 6 1/2 ft tall and was only 11 inches when it came from Puerto Rico two years ago. Now, I have to decide to cut off the flower spikes or not. This plant typically takes 8 to 9 years to flower and bear fruit. It typically grows very slowly in Southern California, but my little tree has grown very fast! Photo taken February 27, 2025.
