JohnMc1 says... I recently picked my first Kyogle grafted Soursop after three years, in a pot, and another on the way. It had a very pleasant taste. The fruit was a hit with some Filipino friends that just happened to show up at the right time. The tree lives permanently in a poly house just an hour's drive north of Sydney on the Sunny Central Coast NSW. | About the Author JohnMc1 WALLARAH,2259,NSW 26th January 2018 7:29am #UserID: 2743 Posts: 2043 View All JohnMc1's Edible Fruit Trees |

Fruitylicious1 says... Hi Dave Did you plant the mountain soursop which is purportedly more cold tolerant than the standard graviola? Or just the normal one inside a poly house during winter in Melbourne. I'm pretty sure they're a bit shy to flower and let alone fruit in Melbourne. I wish you all the luck. As Always ....Happy GARDENING :-) | About the Author Fruitylicious1 TAMWORTH,2340,NSW 7th February 2018 6:46am #UserID: 16885 Posts: 709 View All Fruitylicious1's Edible Fruit Trees |

David says... Hi Fruitylicious1, No, I have 2 grafted Kyogle and 1 Graviola seedling plus more than 40 other tropical fruit trees, all in the very large poly house. As the temp inside in winter from 5C to 25C and Summer 20C to 40C so I don't plant the moutain Soursop. Only the problem I may need to contruct a separate polyhouse for the Jackfruit in a few years time if it grows too large. Cheers. | About the Author David01 Melbourne 7th February 2018 12:27pm #UserID: 16671 Posts: 467 View All David01's Edible Fruit Trees |

Fruitylicious1 says... Hi David Jackfruit? Wow!!! I am amaze by your perseverance bordering on obsession to grow those tropical fruits in Melbourne. I must see it when it's time to pick up our group order. I'm pretty sure I will learn a lot by actually seeing your I think is an amazing tropical paradise in an unfriendly environment like Melbourne with regards to tropical organisms. I wouldn't be astounded anymore if I am going to see sapodilla, star fruit or even mamey and green sapote inside your poly tunnel. As Always....Happy gardening :-) | About the Author Fruitylicious1 TAMWORTH,2340,NSW 8th February 2018 1:29pm #UserID: 16885 Posts: 709 View All Fruitylicious1's Edible Fruit Trees |

David says... Hi Markmelb, My grafted Kary has not fruit yet as I want it grows stable first before fruits, the same for Hog Plum and Rollinia. May be I can tell you next year. However, in my opinion if you can grow it in the poly house with the temp is around 15c above the outdoor in Melbourne then you already know the answer. For the Jackfruit I read a lot of articles said tropical fruit trees usually grow under the shades or under the canopy of rain forest but they did not know that those trees even grow very tall and look very healthy but never fruited or only have few fruits for their entire life. In my opinion Jack needs at least 8 months with temp around 25-30c and full sun in order to grow fast and fruit within 3-5 years. Otherwise, you just have it for vegetative growth like indoor plant. Lucuma. Interesting! How its tastes compared with Canistel. I am still watting for Aurea from Daley. I have one grafted Jack, Litlle Jewel which suitably to grow in pot and 6 seedlings, different varieties. The liitle Jewel is in 90l fabric pot and put out a lot of shoots and grow fast. In 3 year time I may need to put it in 500l pot and a separate poly house if it is ready to bear fruits. Poly house Yes or No. In Melbourne with poly house you can extend the summer from say 5 months (Nov to Mar) to 9 months (Sept to May). The other factor is wind as most fruit trees don't like our gusty wind at all, especially Carambola and the second factor is fruit fly. You don't have that problem if they grow in the green house. Last but not least is you can control the wet/dry climate during flowering for Longan, Lychee and Custard apple etc. and no antharcnose for Mango.

hk27 says... Hi David01, Sorry I have been away for two weeks and my garden looks terrible. The soursop tree has a lot of scaling - need to get rid of that. On the bright side, the tree has so much fruit setting that I had to prune some off to get some decent sized fruit. I have found that soursops are fruiting easier than custard apples. Please see the attached photos, I hope they're clear enough. While I was away, I came across an orange mango shaped fruit as well as an avocado like fruit that was about 200mm in size. I was wondering if you knew what variety these were? If there are any other questions in regards to the soursop, please ask away! I will be asking for your expertise in the near future! Thanks!

David01 says... Hi hk27, Thanks for the photos. Your Soursop looks awesome. Hope it will be ready before June-July. Pic5 looks like Russell Avocado to me, which is common in Forida, however, I could be wrong. The orange Mango where did you take the photo? I have seen Mangos similar shape and color in Japan and Taiwan but have no idea about name or variety.

David01 says... Hi Ruth01, I was wondering if you do need Soursop leaves for your own treatment. The best way is to order few seedling trees from Daleys and grow them in door in pot likes any decoration in door plants. You will get plenty fresh leaves when ever required but no fruits and that is what you need. If you buy more than 2 trees it only $7.75 each.

hk27 says... Hi Waterfall . Thank, my sour sop still good growing strong it's ok , I think you don't have to worry planting it outside because the cold weather in SYDNEY will not kill your tree (but it will kill if it cold and get wet feed special in winter) so waterlogged must be avoid .BTW I see a sour sop tree grow about 8 to 9m tall at JOHN st Cabramatta , so don't have to worry to planting outside , Cheers | About the Author hk27 BONNYRIGG,2177,NSW 12th July 2018 8:38pm #UserID: 7289 Posts: 24 View All hk27's Edible Fruit Trees |
