Mangosteen Purple (Seedling) 9/10Aus1788's Edible FruitsUpdate: 38 days 2hrs Comments: - Five year old seedlings(2 years inground). Protected in winter with green house cover. Purple mangosteens apparently don't like being too close to the sea! I'm 300 meters away and both seem to be responding well and growing just as fast as the achachas. The spot has almost 360 protection from wind. House on one side, shed on the other, fence behind and a raised garden bed infront with shade cloth. Soil is high organic mix, with 20% clay and 10% sand. Only using Rainwater which I apply once weekly durign heatwaves and high avg temps Height 70 Centimetres Growing: In the Ground Qty: 2 Sun/Shade: Medium Sun Water Given in: Spring SpringPollination: Self Pollination Organic Status:Organic Was this review helpful?

Mirabelle Plum (Grafted)Linton's Edible FruitsUpdate: 147 days 6hrs Comments: - Mirabelle Plum, Prunus domestica subsp. syriaca, was first recorded in France in 1675.

Plum - Red seedling (Seedling) 9/10Edward3's Edible FruitsUpdate: 216 days 18hrs Comments: - Grew this plant from seed of fruit labelled as Red Plum, which might actually be Amber Jewel. The tree has now fruited and the result is a firm, very dark red large plum with a good flavour. Crop has been limited, possibly due to need for cross-pollination, so have now planted another plum tree nearby for that purpose. Grows vigorously in Sydney. Planted: 2015 Height 3 metres Growing: In the Ground Qty: 1 Fruit Harvest: 10 Fruit Per Year First Fruited: 4 Years from Seed Sun/Shade: Full Sun Water Given in: Autumn SummerPollination: Self Pollination Pest Control: Using fruit bags on individual plums.

Mango - Thai seedling 8/10Edward3's Edible FruitsUpdate: 314 days 20hrs Comments: - Grew this tree from seed from a Thai mango bought in Cabramatta. The stem has a copper colour - quite different from our other mango trees. It produced one mango in 2022 which was very tasty. So far this variety seems disease resistant.

Nashi Pear - Nijisseiki (Grafted) 8/10Edward3's Edible FruitsUpdate: 314 days 20hrs Comments: - Fruited profusely but fruit rather small. So it looks necessary to thin fruit in order to get larger size. Tree healthy but not vigorous. Did not fruit in 2022, but plentiful crop in 2023.

Plum - President (Grafted) 9/10Edward3's Edible FruitsUpdate: 314 days 20hrs Comments: - Tree growing in Katoomba. Excellent slightly tart flavour. Must be patient not to pick till fully ripe to get best flavour, but not allow to overripen as it will lose flavour completely.

Dragon Fruit - Pearl (Cutting) 9/10Edward3's Edible FruitsUpdate: 314 days 20hrs Comments: - This Vietnamese variety produces quite tasty, sweet fruit - red skin, white flesh. Better tasting than the red flesh variety. Should be eaten soon after picking to get best flavour. Importantly the fruit doesn't get affected by fruit fly or other pests, so is recommended.

Mango - Alfonso (Grafted) 7/10Edward3's Edible FruitsUpdate: 314 days 20hrs Comments: - Good looking wide-spreading tree. Supposed to be one of the favourite mango varieties in India. Have had a few fruit in 2017. Not as tasty as my other mango varieties, but will check taste in next few seasons before giving a verdict. Susceptible to disease so got very few fruits.

Mango - Bowen Seedling (Seedling) 8/10Edward3's Edible FruitsUpdate: 314 days 20hrs Comments: - Very tasty fruit, but fruit set depends very much on the weather being right at flowering time, so some years get very little fruit. In 2017 got a huge crop due to the combination of dry weather at flowering time and good rain after fruit set. But in subsequent years rain caused disease and got very few mangoes. Planted: 2004 Height 3 metres Growing: In the Ground Qty: 4 Fruit Harvest: 10 Fruit Per Year Sun/Shade: Full Shade Pollination: Self Pollination When I Fertilise: Never Pest Control: Protect from possums using plastic milk bottles with holes for ventilation placed over fruit.

Nectarine - White Satin (Grafted) 10/10Kate816's Edible FruitsUpdate: 390 days 4hrs Comments: - This has been grafted to a tree as a "double graft" with an Angel peach. Both species do not require a cross-pollinating partner, so this was simply a space-saving way to cram more food types into the yard. I am so happy with it! It flowered and "fruited" already technically, but dropped all its fruit as it really is far too young and small to be bearing fruit. However it did everything perfectly, so maybe this year or next year we will start to see the pay off and its "practice run" kept the local bees happy. Still in a large grow pot while we work out where to install it!
