It requires moisture to be maintained throughout the year, and while it can tolerate small amounts of salt spray, this is not the case for drought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Plant Description<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>The plant is a low-branched evergreen large shrub or small tree reaching a height of about 6 m and is quite ornamental. The dark green resinous <span class='tooltipsall tooltip_post_id_3352 classtoolTips3352'>pinnate<\/span> leaves are spirally arranged with 7-12 alternate elliptic leaflets, 7-10cm long, with minute hairs on the upper side veins and with a prominent yellow mid-rib on the under side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Relatives<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>Rutaceae Family, which also includes citrus, white sapote and bael.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Soils<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>Undemanding of soils provided they are well-drained, with a preference for slightly acid to neutral pH conditions.&nbsp; It will still grow in alkaline soils but may become chlorotic, requiring Fe, Mn and Zn treatments. It can tolerate small amounts of salt spray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Propagation<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>Propagation is easy and may be done by seed, <span class='tooltipsall tooltip_post_id_3202 classtoolTips3202'>cuttings<\/span>, <span class='tooltipsall tooltip_post_id_3780 classtoolTips3780'>air layers<\/span> or <span class='tooltipsall tooltip_post_id_3774 classtoolTips3774'>grafting<\/span>. Seedling wampis are very variable, and the fruit may be small and sour. Wampis are very popular in Asia where there are many superior selections. However, they are very difficult to acquire in WA with our strict quarantine regulations against the importation of <span class='tooltipsall tooltip_post_id_3459 classtoolTips3459'>vegetative<\/span> propagating material of citrus species and relatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cultivars<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>Two cvs that are possible to source are Yeem Pay and Guy Sam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Flowering and Pollination<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>It bears greenish-white <span class='tooltipsall tooltip_post_id_3345 classtoolTips3345'>perfect flowers<\/span> in large terminal <span class='tooltipsall tooltip_post_id_3338 classtoolTips3338'>panicles<\/span> in winter and early spring.&nbsp; Although self-fruitful, some fruit may have reduced seed numbers and this is improved with <span class='tooltipsall tooltip_post_id_3195 classtoolTips3195'>cross-pollination<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cultivation<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>Plant in full sun.&nbsp; In the absence of specific studies on fertilization regimes etc, they can be managed similarly to citrus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Wind Tolerance<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>Good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Pruning<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>As fruit are produced in terminal panicles, care must be taken to minimise removal of fruiting wood with any pruning operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Fruit<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>They are <span class='tooltipsall tooltip_post_id_3258 classtoolTips3258'>globose<\/span>-ovoid <span class='tooltipsall tooltip_post_id_3148 classtoolTips3148'>berries<\/span>, 1.5-3cm X 1-2cm, changing from pale green to yellow-brownish when ripe.&nbsp; The semi-translucent aromatic flesh is juicy, mucilaginous, sweet to sub-acid with 1-5 green seeds 10-15mm long. There may be more than 40 golden-brown fruits in a <span class='tooltipsall tooltip_post_id_3338 classtoolTips3338'>panicle<\/span>.&nbsp; Some seedling-grown trees can produce very tart fruits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Fruit Production and Harvesting<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>Trees will bear fruit in 3-6 years, although under poor conditions they may take considerably longer.&nbsp; Fruit generally mature in summer and they should be carefully picked with the stem attached to minimise post-harvest fungal rot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mature trees can yield 30-40kg of fruit pa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Fruit Uses<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>The fruit is most often used for fresh consumption.
