Mango - Calypso (Seedling) 8/10Danny333's Edible FruitsUpdate: 1067 days 22hrs Comments: - This mango is a Calypso seedling I planted in 2012. It has a very small and compact growth habit and is just over a meter tall at 7 years old. I transplanted it into a 130L pot thinking that it was root bound in its original 60L pot only to discover that it had a very small root system and was nowhere near filling its original pot. This probably explains its dwarf growth habit. this is the only mango that currently grows in my yard that doesn%u2019t require any spraying of fungicides to control anthracnose. It seems to have a very high natural resistance to this disease. It has just started flowering in 2019 and has set many fruit. Hopefully they will hang on till maturity and taste at least as good as the original Calypso.

Jambolan Plum (Seedling)Amanda's Edible FruitsUpdate: 1776 days 1hrs Comments: - Hasn't fruited yet so can't comment on taste. It is a vigorous grower and probably not suited to small areas. Ours is in the "rainforest" type area and is very easy to grow. It never gets chorotic or bothered by cold/heat. I think it's the parrots eating the top growth that is keeping it contained so far though. Planted: 2014 Height 4 metres Growing: In the Ground Sun/Shade: Medium Sun Pollination: Self Pollination Fertiliser or Organics Used: Slow release organic chook manure pellets in warm season.

Davidsons Plum - QLD (Seedling) 5/10Amanda's Edible FruitsUpdate: 1781 days 10hrs Comments: - D.pruriens. It's a very handsome tree but I really don't like the fruit - for anything so far. It is unbelievably sour. I am impressed that it grows so well here though, considering we get the odd light dusting of frost on the low part of our property. It's not all phased by winter here. We do have deep sands here though - so drainage is sharp.I have planted this in an area that has an overhead canopy that provides light shade - to mimic it's rainforest origins. I mulch it a bit like a forest floor also - using logs and leaf litter, prunings etc. Fruiting Months June Planted: 2014 Height 4 metres Growing: In the Ground Qty: 1 First Fruited: 4 Years from purchase in pot Sun/Shade: Low Sun Water Given in: Spring SpringPollination: Self Pollination Fertiliser or Organics Used: Acid lovers alternating with organic slow release chook manure pellets, little and often Was this review helpful?

Mango - Mahachanok/King Thai (Grafted) 10/10Amanda's Edible FruitsUpdate: 1784 days 9hrs Comments: - This is the best tasting mango I have ever eaten - either here or overseas etc. It's incredible. A lovely complex flavour that is sweet but has this addictive sub-acid undercurrent to it's flavour profile. I am crazy for them. Little fibre, super flat seed - so very large flesh-seed ratio. If you love mangoes then do yourself a favour and plant this one - you won't regret it. The tree is also a semi dwarf type - which is very handy. Planted: 2014 Height 3 metres Growing: In the Ground First Fruited: 3 Years from purchase in pot Sun/Shade: Medium Sun Pollination: Self Pollination Fertiliser or Organics Used: Balanced Acid lovers alternating with slow release organic chook manure pellets. Little and often. Some sulphur in early spring, iron sulphate in winter occasionally. Question: If I remove the early flowers I get a second flush of flowers at a better time later in spring - but these second flower flushes look different - are they just as productive?

[1004 days 8hrs ago]On Bowen mango, we usually lose the flowers in Spring due to anthracnose. They turn brown and drop off. Do you get this problem with the Mahachanok?* You need your own My Edibles Page to contribute Quick & Easy |

Mango - R2E2 (Grafted) 7/10Amanda's Edible FruitsUpdate: 1784 days 23hrs Comments: - Not very vigorous here. The fruit tastes way better than in the shops though. Thinking of top-working our 3 because they are underperforming, compared to the Mahachanok, for eg.

Plum - Mariposa (Grafted)Amanda's Edible FruitsUpdate: 1785 days 10hrs Comments: - Just planted (summer 2019) mostly to cross-pollinate the Luisa.

Dwarf Plumcott - Spring Satin (Grafted) 3/10Amanda's Edible FruitsUpdate: 1785 days 11hrs Comments: - Removed. The top growth was pretty much a full size tree and outgrew the rootstock very quickly. It fell over in a storm, at 2yrs old, as a result. Very unhappy with the plant. The rootstock-scion combo might not be suited to lighter soils as I had the same problem with the entire range of this brand of stone fruits - and have either removed or lost all seven of them.

Nashi Pear - Kosui 10/10Amanda's Edible FruitsUpdate: 1786 days 0hrs Comments: - Homegrown nashi taste amazing. I love ours and plan on planting some more varieties. This a dwarf tree and I duo-planted it with a Bartlett for cross pollination. It hasn't needed it however and sets fruit on it's own - as they out of sync here.

Davidson Plum NSW (Seedling) 5/10Amanda's Edible FruitsUpdate: 1786 days 10hrs Comments: - Same as for the QLD species. Incredibly sour fruits.

Plum - Blood 7/10BJ11's Edible FruitsUpdate: 2444 days 13hrs Comments: - Planted in location #42 (clay, loam, quartz) . Believed to be a Japanese blood plum (so should cross with existing plums). Was rescued from a deceased estate. Trunk was about 25cm in diameter. It was pruned to about 1.2m high and 1m wide (<30% of its original size), and roots were pruned to within 40cm of trunk. It produced leaves in spring 2016, but these were shredded by parrots until there was so much growth the parrots couldn't land anywhere on it. It seems determined to live!
