The poster formerly known as... says... They like humidity. They often look average in the dry here, even when temps are good. Haitian seems to be more tolerant of adverse conditions than others, but the bronze one is supposed to be more cold tolerant (but reportedly doesn't like dry winds near as much)... | About the Author Theposterformerlyknownas Keperra 27th January 2015 9:55am #UserID: 3270 Posts: 1552 View All Theposterformerlyknownas's Edible Fruit Trees |

sternus1 says... Sorry Bruce, generally I agree with you but on this one I'll believe it when I see it. Maybe in an ultra impressive microclimate or greenhouse, but yeah-- not buying it. I'm regularly in congress with correy and had a conversation with him not so long ago about the pink star Apple to the effect that it's a big pain for daleys to even cultivate and they are pros. You may prove me wrong, guy down the road from me has a fruiting marang which I would also have not believed could ever possibly fruit in Brisbane. | About the Author sternus1 Australia 27th January 2015 6:10pm #UserID: 8314 Posts: 1318 View All sternus1's Edible Fruit Trees |
The poster formerly known as... says... Mine is growing fine. It was growing too well at first and I dug it up to make sure it wouldn't push against the neighbors retaining wall. Cut off heaps of tap root and deep roots in the process. Took it a year to re establish, but it's now bushed back up and is shooting lots of new growth. Likes heaps of water. Could be that what Daleys has as pink is different from what I have and what is fruiting here. It's the Juicy Pearl type pink without gold under leaves. I have never seen Daleys offer anything g other than the two standard star apples, and I generally check the new releases daily, so I'm not sure if they are entirely at that super high standard when it comes to star apples? | About the Author Theposterformerlyknownas Keperra 27th January 2015 7:47pm #UserID: 3270 Posts: 1552 View All Theposterformerlyknownas's Edible Fruit Trees |
sternus1 says... Daleys have offered a pink, which is not the same as juicy pearl, which is white. in the past but again, it's Been a palaver for them to cultivate. I have never tried any other star Apple other than the standard purple. It was ok, worth growing if you had the room. I understand there is a dwarfing yellow type which I wouldn't mind, don't really have the space for any more big trees. My juicy pearl went to Thithi because it was either that or a cactus grove. The star Apple lost, so now I have a bunch of different opuntia and cereus in various advanced States, most of the cereus are tiny though. | About the Author sternus1 Australia 27th January 2015 9:27pm #UserID: 8314 Posts: 1318 View All sternus1's Edible Fruit Trees |

JohnMc1 says... Didn't know they grew from cuttings, you know what I'll be doing in the morning. Only have a Haitian, when it arrived it looked like it had been through the Brisbane floods, almost leafless, the box was in tatters but the Haitian picked up and is now flowering. They must be quite hardy bar cold temps. | About the Author JohnMc1 Warnervale NSW 27th January 2015 10:49pm #UserID: 2743 Posts: 2043 View All JohnMc1's Edible Fruit Trees |
