Sanjha1871 starts with ... Hi, I am Sandy and very new to the forums,we live in suburban eastern Adelaide , and I was wondering if tropical apples like Sweet Anna and Tropical sweet would be successful here ? I am in a dilemma between getting two of the tropical varieties or get the three way apple that Daley's sell. any suggestions and guidance would be highly appreciated. thank you :) | About the Author Sanjha1871 LINDEN PARK,5065,SA 13th February 2018 8:15am #UserID: 17395 Posts: 1 View All Sanjha1871's Edible Fruit Trees |
Fruitylicious1 says... Hi Sandy If I were you I would definitely choose a multiple grafted apple for a number of reasons: 1. Space saver - you can plant or do other things in the space otherwise would be occupied by another apple tree. 2. Pollination - you don't have to plant another apple tree for cross pollination. Normally multiple grafted apples are pollination compatible. 3. Ease of harvesting. 4. Easy to maintain. Instead of watering , pruning, fertilizing etc multiple separate trees you only need to deal with one. 5. Economical - you just have to buy one tree. Another word of advice, while waiting for your apple trees try to learn everything about apple culture and cultivation to help you become a better gardener and trouble shooter when problems arises in the future.

Pademelon1 says... Hi Sanjha, Tropical apples are so named because they require a low number of chill hours (0 - 7 degrees C) to set fruit. This low chill hour number does not exclude fruiting if exceeded. (Although if too cold for too long there can be problems) While you may find tropical apples do grow less well than their temperate counterparts in colder areas, there shouldn't be a major difference between them. Maybe if you were from southern Tassie you might have some problems but Adelaide should be fine.
