Fruitylicious1 says... Hi Judy-Ann Low chill apples require at least 100 chill units (fuji apple), and peaches at least 250 chill units (tropic snow). You will have more success with grapes because they are currently grown in the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, India and Northern tropics in Australia with average temperature between 22C-32C much like Saint Kitts. The tropical grape varieties suitable in your climate are; beauty seedless, perlette, fresno seedless, cardinal, sultana and ribier. Other fruit trees that does not need any chill requirements are; lemon, orange, mandarin, avocado, papaya, tamarillo, custard apple, jujube (chinese date), jackfruit, mangosteen, jaboticaba, carambola, star apple, soursop (graviola) and much more. Happy Gardening :-) | About the Author Fruitylicious1 TAMWORTH,2340,NSW 15th December 2017 8:11pm #UserID: 16885 Posts: 709 View All Fruitylicious1's Edible Fruit Trees |

MyrtleTurtle says... Pears are out of the question for a tropical island, although they say Hood and Keiffer are very low chill. There are some very low chill apples (Anna, Ein Sheimer) that could work, I'm not sure. Ultra-low chill peaches include Tropic Snow, Eva's Pride, Flordaprince, May Pride. Just search for the lowest-chill varieties you can. | About the Author MyrtleTurtle Eastern Seaboard 15th December 2017 10:09pm #UserID: 6913 Posts: 46 View All MyrtleTurtle's Edible Fruit Trees |
