Growing Lychees and Custard apples in Sydney (forum)
2 responses
Tony starts with ...
HI,
I am looking to plant a Lychee - Bosworth 3 and Custard apple in the backyard. We are in Sydney and the backyard isnt too large.
Is Bosworth 3 a suitable variety for sydney.
And what would be the best Custard apple species to go with. Pink Mammoth seems good but i am a bit concerned about the size of the tree. should i go with African pride.
What would be the best time to plant them.
Thanks
Tony

Hey Tony, Bosworth 3 is the Lychee to go for. As for custard apples, african pride has an advantage compared to Pinks mammoth in that its self-pollinating, although its not as tasty. Id go for cherimoyas instead - similar tree and fruits but much better in every respect.
As with most fruit trees you need to prune them back each year and this is what determines the final size of the tree - not so much the variety.
Hope this helps, rich
