Best Variety For My Area

    4 responses

Rudyanto starts with ...
I live in Maddington, Western Australia with a land size of 600 sqm. I wish to grow mango, orange, avocado, pear, spinach & marigold. Please recommend the best variety (in terms of disease resistance, flavour & yield) for my area to rudychong02@yahoo.com. Thank you.

On 600m2, if you grow large trees like mango and avocado, they could shade out your other trees. Or are you thinking of growing in containers?

I am thinking of growing dwarf & self-pollinating varieties. Any recommendations?

I heard washington navel oranges are inclined to drop. Any comments?

I also heard kensington pride mango tree has low disease resistance. Any comments?

Rudyanto, yes, navels will drop some fruit, but only in cold, wet weather. They are usually ripe by then (July onwards) so I just pick them up and eat them! I don't lose many.

I find I lose more by parrots knocking them off - they eat one and knock off three.

You could be right about the Kensington mango, but it does taste good!
