Sapodilla - Sawo Manila (Grafted) Kath's Edible FruitsUpdate: 1831 days 4hrs Comments: - I finally planted my Sawo Manilla in June 2010, I hope it is not too much of a temperature shock going from the poly house to the top of my hill. It is right up the top of the orchard, not too bad a spot, planted into a big mound as the soil is fairly heavy, will need to keep the lantana hedge at bay. 2014 - slow - in fact it not grown much but always look OK. First flowers this year. Planted: 2010 Height 1.2 metres Growing: In the Ground Sun/Shade: Full Sun Water Given in: Summer Organic Status:Organic Was this review helpful?
