 72/ ramon aka Maya nut, Brosimum alicastrum 

It’s related to Artocarpus. Doesn’t like to get too wet or leaves shrivel so it rarely gets any extra water besides rain. 3yo, still not fruiting. Slow growing, shares pot with small veg. It’s very wind-tolerant even as a seedling. Keep from freezing. I have given it fertilizer bc I’m a bit frustrated with its slow growth in comparison with jackfruit and kuai muk that are same age but 15ft tall at end of summer before trimming down to 6ft.
