Tommoz says... I have the cool climate on my side Mike. At least relative to Queensland. If those three can be whoppers than I wonder how big an Arkin gets.

Kam says... Hi Please advise. I have a star fruit tree for about 8 years now which was grown from seed. The seed was from a fruit which I bought from the supermarket. It has been giving me lots of fruits but only small but of good taste and very sweet. I have recently bought a Giant Siam. If I put this next to my other tree, will my Giant Siam cross polinate and will I get smaller Giant Siam? It seems that it grows well between my fence and house but still get lots of sunshine. Thanks if you can help. | About the Author Kam Perth 22nd July 2014 11:42am #UserID: 10241 Posts: 29 View All Kam's Edible Fruit Trees |
sternus1 says... lol no, you won't get smaller fruit from your siam being crosspollinated. Honestly you're better off pulling up the small fruited type which is probably a kary, and just keeping your siam. This has probably the biggest and best fruit, and one tree will produce more than you'll ever be able to eat. | About the Author sternus1 Australia 22nd July 2014 11:56am #UserID: 8314 Posts: 1318 View All sternus1's Edible Fruit Trees |
Tommoz says... You could try grafting over your seedling carambola in the spring, even though I havent heard people doing this. Save you having to pull out an established tree. Most cultivars seem to be self fertile, but if there are issues this should help: http://rfcarchives.org.au/Next/Fruits/Carambola/FruitSetCarambola3-92.htm | About the Author Tommoz Dural 22nd July 2014 4:03pm #UserID: 7219 Posts: 340 View All Tommoz's Edible Fruit Trees |
