What fruit trees will grow true to - Sorry, got off topic. The misshapen fruit of the seedling seems to indicate the seedling did not grow true to the parent, which has fruit of a balanced shape...3712 days 13hrs
What fruit trees will grow true to - I have a seedling avocado, kept in a pot for about two or three years, then planted out in 2003. It took about another 5 years before it set a huge crop of fruit. In 2009 it set another huge crop, but was obviously suffering from phytophthora. I started..3712 days 14hrs

Dwarf Lemonade (Grafted)

Rusticular's Edible Fruits
Update: 2014 days 9hrs

Comments: - Slow growth at first, straggly, fruit turns to orange when ripe but can be eaten green skinned. Closer in flavour to orange than lemon when orange skinned. Straggly untidy tree, probably due to the dwarfing stock. Prone to some kind of brown rust which dessicates the skin, Fuit becomes dry.

Dwarf Pummelo Nam Roi (Grafted) 7/10

Coralie says... [4900 days 11hrs ago]
Can you tell me what your cross pollinator is? Coralie
Rusticular says... [4898 days 15hrs ago]
Hi Coralie, I have Lilikoi, Red and also Yellow Panama. As I do not pollinate by hand, I can't really tell you, but I suspect you may be able to self pollinate it with a small camel hair brush.
Coralie says... [4897 days 13hrs ago]
Hi Again, Yes we have been hand pollinating - but it hasnt worked at all. keen to try lilikoi, so this just gives me an excuse.. Coralie
Rusticular says... [4896 days 8hrs ago]
I tried pollinating by hand from Lilikoi in teh second year of the Granadilla, but it didn't work. However I suspect the age and size of the Granadilla may play a part, I have three Granadilla planted in close proximity (ca. 2 metres).

Mango - Bowen Seedling (Seedling) 5/10

Rusticular's Edible Fruits
Update: 2014 days 9hrs

Comments: -

This tree is much too big for my garden, and needs constant cutting back.  May try to lop it or top work other varieties. Received it as a gift, rescued pot bound from a local nursery.  Have grafted two Nam Doc Mai to one limb with success. Only fruit every two or three years due to climate, will remove it.

Babaco Cutting (Cutting)

Update: 2014 days 9hrs

Comments: - Have tried three plants in different locations. Planted on gradual slopes on north side, but heavy soil. Root system rotted away. Have a new plant (tissue cultured) in a pot. It produced a few fruit then rotted. Potting mix was mixed with perlite and bark for drainage. Took cuttings but those all rotted eventually.
