kim says... I never had much success with hand pollination. When I moved to my present place 4 years ago, I planted the pink mammoth and african pride side by side. At the same time, I happened to be buying fruits at one of the fruit barns on the Steve Irwin way along the sunshine coast hinterland. The lady at the shop told me that growers around there throw unwanted fruits around the plants. This encourages the "fruit flies" - the tiny ones that hang around your fruit bowl - not the ones that lay eggs in your fruits. Apparently, these tiny fruit flies help to pollinate. At the same time, I read that you need high humidity when the tree is flowering. So I spray water mid morning and mid afternoon when they are in flower. These 3 things I had done seems to work and I have been having fruits from both plants without hand pollination.I do not know which one is actually working and so will have to carry on doing both. | About the Author kim2 brisbane 4th August 2009 7:57pm #UserID: 128 Posts: 27 View All kim2's Edible Fruit Trees |
amanda says... This is curious - I was told that I needed H.White with A.Pride for pollination (or - maybe better bearing?) could I just graft a H.White branch onto my A.pride for the same result? This would save space (and I could have 2 A.prides) Kath or Correy - can u help please? Both of mine came from Daleys via a supplier. | About the Author amanda19 Geraldton.
