Hay pete, I have a grafted bisexual from daleys, its about 2 months old now and grown a meter tall. Its only surposed to grow to six foot. I will be getting many more of these. They will grow well there. Also try mangoes, pitaya, star apples, choc custard fruit and jacks. All these will grow there.

john,
thanks for your reply.
i have got lots of stuff from daleys already and will probably
get some paw paws from them also.
i have just been on their site
but cannot see any grafted
ones on their list.
do you know what sort yours is.
also have you tasted star apples before, if so what do you think.

Hello Adelaideans,
I have not yet seen paw paws fruit sucessfully in Adelaide, neither have I seen jackfruits. I have not been successful myself with these types either. Believe me I have tried everything, including the "more" exotics like star apple, canistel, green sapote, jackfruit, carambola, coconuts and many others.
However be assured that mangos are tough as lemons here in Adelaide once they are established (this takes quite a while). A few huge samples can be found at the following locations:
Goldrush Road, opposite the BP station near Payneham road.
Days Road, near the Regency Hardware store.

Hi Jantina,
I found that canistel could not handle the winter cold here in Adelaide even though it had proper shade cloth protection. I have not tried Lucmo so no comments sorry.
However by reference of these two resources: lucmo http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/morton/lucmo.html and canistel http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/morton/canistel.html, it appears that lucmo is temperate tree so I think I would do fine in Mt Gambier.

Mangoes are tough as lemons. I have planted them in mid winter and they don't suffer at all. The main thing in winter is not the cold but not to over water and have free draining soil. This is similar for a lot of the sub tropicals. Papaya and carambola for example will thrive and fruit if provided with a little protection (shadecloth shelter, close to the house or amongst other trees) as well as the free draining soil conditions. Pepino will become a weed in the garden depending on how much water you give it.

Hi Grant, I have read a few times in various places that it is the wet feet more than the cold that knocks off the subtropicals so I am making sure that my pots are well draining and will let my plants dry out (not to the point of wilting) before watering as it gets colder, so far everything from pepino to rollinia is growing very well, I know that producing fruit might be another matter!

You can grow many plants better in containers if you add crushed charcoal to the mix-especially the lower 15cms. Also use no more than 15% of peat in the mix. It may also help to have a bony mix, some volcanic soils are suitable at about 5- 10% of the mix. Also if you can afford it-import seeds from many sources and try them all against each other. They may adapt to your specific microclimate better than mail order trees,You often get the odd shiner. although you should order the trees too for insurance.

Very funny Steve and Kert, if you find a seedling, and it has two roots it is female,one root is male. Don't even think of asking me about Bisexual trees.
interested in your health my book comes ut next year. Meantime go to Natural Therapies page on web. Look at Day Spa on Hamilton. Thats a me.

I'm growing my paw paw from seed, it all started when I through paw paw seeds in the compost !!!
By the way, in order to let them grow only to a certain height, every little while I remove 3 of the top new leaves. Is that a known practice for you too ?
And I'm trying to find out why in Africa we drive a stick through its trunk .... oooooh sounds spooky doesn't it ?

Goretti,
Driving a stake/nail/hammering a brick into the cleft etc through a branch/tree causes trauma to the tree. This can shock it into fruiting as it thinks it might die and needs to sow it wild oats/procreate etc. I.e. you have a tree that just has never fruited (past its normal fruiting age) or you get low numbers of fruit etc, you might try that method. We used it for our Lemon trees back on the farm. Very little/speratic fruit 1 brick 1 hammer bashed it into the fork of the tree, now it fruits heavily all year round.
It sound like bs but there is something in all those wives tales, you just need to think about it scentifically and do some trial and error.
Dont do it with a tree that isnt pretty much a lost cause already though, else you might kill your young plant before its even meant to bear.

Hi Amanda thank you for your question, I have been working with patients, for decades, in this research I have found enzyme therapy very successful in the overall treatment for "C" Also, it is important to take enzymes on an empty stomach. A stack of research shows that enzymes, when taken in this manner, will go into the bloodstream and clean it up. And in the process digest and kill cancer cells. Take both a plant based digestive enzyme along with pancreatic enzymes high in Trypsin and Chymotrypsin for the best results. Take both with meals for improved digestion, and on an empty stomach to get into the body. Also use/ Citrus Pectin (assists in prevention of Mestasis) vIT C, SELENIUM, OLIVE LEAF EXTRACT, APRICOT KERNEL.
I hope this helps u a little more

From my experience Kath, yes, I have never had a failure but that's not to say it doesn't happen. I could be just lucky, so let's see what the others say.
I threw some red pawpaw seeds in a bed the other week and look what I now have, it's a shame I can't send you some
