Grant says... Hi Thao, There are lots of people growing mango in SA. Check out these threads https://www.daleysfruit.com.au/forum/mango-tree-in-adelaide/ https://www.daleysfruit.com.au/forum/paw-paw/ Bowen / Kensington pride or R2E2 are probably your best bet and seedlings which are polyembryonic. I have a 10 foot fruiting KP which I grew from a supermarket seed. | About the Author 28th March 2010 10:43am #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |
Grant says... Longan, No problem, Lychee a bit more fussy but I have fruited one in a sheltered spot. Jackfruit, I have grown the "more cold" tolerant varieties out in the open but they were very young trees and never fruited. Daley's have a listing which includes some of the more cool tolerant varieties, such as Yulaten. | About the Author 28th March 2010 10:51am #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Theresa says... There is an amazing large mango tree on the corner of Portrush Road and John Street in Payneham here. It produces full grown fruit each year. Every now and then I check it out. One day I must talk to the house owners. The tree grows on the fence line frontage on Portrush Road side with heaps of traffic going past every day. Hope this helps....cheers Theresa | About the Author Theresa1 Payneham, South Australia 25th November 2011 12:25pm #UserID: 6172 Posts: 1 View All Theresa1's Edible Fruit Trees |

amanda says... I'd grow mangoe in SA for sure...? If it can grow and fruit in the south west of WA - then why not? The only problem may be rain at flowering time...but (apparently) you can snip off those unfortunate rain affected flowers - and the tree will soon flower again...? (and maybe at a better time) | About the Author amanda19 Geraldton, 400km North of Perth 29th February 2012 12:53am #UserID: 2309 Posts: 4607 View All amanda19's Edible Fruit Trees |
David says... The micro climate is important. The north side of a house where it receives good sunlight in the winter and has some protection from wind will help. They are sensitive to frost, and low lying areas will be more subjected to the likelihood of frost. As they get older they can handle frost better. The classic ideal situation is on a north facing hill where winter sunlight is maximised. If there are cold temperatures during flowering then you may get poor fruit set. Mangoes are grown commercially at Renmark, and although it is further north, it is inland whereas you are closer to the ocean which should give you avoid winter frost. | About the Author David1 Perth 3rd March 2012 12:41am #UserID: 6019 Posts: 26 View All David1's Edible Fruit Trees |

Linton says... Large mangoes and Longans are also growing near my house in Melbourne so they should also grow in South Australia. But I want to try the grafted dwarf Longan now, but can't find them. Daleys and Forbidden don't have any. I think the grafted ones should also produce fruit better on their own. | About the Author Linton Springvale, Vic 10th August 2012 6:55pm #UserID: 2286 Posts: 994 View All Linton's Edible Fruit Trees |

Danny Scali says... Hey I planted a mango 5 years ago and it fruits extremely well now. My tips 1 . Plant on mound especially if got clay soil 2. dig in some peat moss b4 planting and occasionally add more.. they love slightly acidic soils. 3 Plant on north side of house if you can. Mine is between my north brick wall and neighbor's fence so there's extra heat during winter. 4 prune tips to create bushy growth. | About the Author Danny Scali hillcrest 12th April 2014 8:38pm #UserID: 9800 Posts: 1 View All Danny Scali's Edible Fruit Trees |
