john starts with ... Have a 6 year old canistel. Very healthy appearance in well drained soil. Has a lot of very small fruit but they don't appear to be getting bigger. Has been fertilised with trace elements as well as pellet fertiliser and liquid fertiliser. It appears that growth is going into the tree but not into the fruit. Am I doing too much to it. Hope you can help. | About the Author john60 beenleigh, qld 1st January 2013 9:11pm #UserID: 7568 Posts: 1 View All john60's Edible Fruit Trees |

Lissa says... Not a well known fruit tree to grow I think John. I've never even tried the fruit myself. My little tree is not doing anything really - just sitting and looking healthy enough, but sooooo slow. I doing a major revamp of my front garden where it lives and will have to think whether it stays or goes. It would have been good to know other peoples experiences growing this tree. I think I'll post on our Brisbane Local Food group website and see if anyone else knows much about it. | About the Author Lissa Strathpine Qld 3rd February 2013 8:35am #UserID: 3797 Posts: 189 View All Lissa's Edible Fruit Trees |

VF says... Mmmmm, that fruit sure looks delicious. Does the Ross hybridize with regular Canistel I wonder? I've germinated some seeds from a superior tasting round fruit that had very rounded seeds the same as your picture Mike, almost like marbles - I didn't think the fruit was a Ross, as it wasn't flattened on its base,(but no point either), but it had some vertical striping on the skin, and its' flavour different to other canistel I've had since, round or elongated. | About the Author VF Wongawallan 5th February 2013 11:42am #UserID: 6795 Posts: 736 View All VF's Edible Fruit Trees |

amanda19 says... Hi Mike Tr..! Not sure if you are still at the email address I posted to - but just wanted to make sure you get this..?! Many thanks for the treasures that you gave me :) The canistel seeds have done well (once I dug them up and scratched up their seed coat - then they germinated at last!) Same with the Asian sweet leaf...have my fingers and toes crossed that I can get them thru their first winter here.... They are in the north facing brick walled garden of the pool area - as warm and humid microclimate as I have - with my bananas and starfruit. Looking forward to having some of that delicious canistel one day! ;-) Many thanks again.... | About the Author amanda19 BULLER,6532,WA 19th March 2014 9:56am #UserID: 2309 Posts: 4607 View All amanda19's Edible Fruit Trees |
