DellDGM says... I dAttemoyon't know if its a big mistake as such. I have planted A Attemoya Custard Apple this year. When choosing my fruit trees I did some reasearh and there was a web site for tropical fruit trees grown in Adelaide and they have been successful with these custard apples in pots - I will try and hunt down the web site for you (new computer and I lost my favourites list) I figure if we can grow them here then you should be alright in South NSW it might just take a little TLC - Mine survived so far through winter - actually better than some of my other trees. | About the Author Delldgm Adelaide 12th September 2007 7:48pm #UserID: 129 Posts: 31 View All Delldgm's Edible Fruit Trees |
lachlann says... Thanks DellDGM. Atemoyas grow fine here - African Pride is sold and grown as far south as the Bega area. A neighbour has sown atemoya seeds in his garden and gets a vigorous tasty crop. There is a beautifully even climate and rich soils here - average July temperatures are 7-15 without frosts in the right microclimate - much like Adelaide but more rain and less heat extremes. Lady finger bananas and mangoes can also be grown. But I'm at the stage of choosing varieties and fruiting times - hence my interest in `Late Gold' to compliment my early 'Fino de Jete' Any experience with 'Late Gold' anyone? | About the Author Lachlann1 South Coast, NSW 16th September 2007 10:26pm #UserID: 277 Posts: 12 View All Lachlann1's Edible Fruit Trees |
