BJ says... Seedlings of good types should produce a high percentage of decent offspring. Seedlings of seedlings tend to lower that percentage with each generation. You can end up with awful overly musky, aromatic and tart fruit (all at once) by planting seeds of average ones. Taste the fruit from Northey Street Gardens if you dont understand how bad seedlings of seedlings can be. | About the Author Theposterformerlyknownas Brisbane 30th March 2012 8:25pm #UserID: 3270 Posts: 1552 View All Theposterformerlyknownas's Edible Fruit Trees |

MaryT says... Phil the seeds you sent me have sprouted and most have four to six leaves. They are still very small so it may be some time before they look like trees :) I will pot them up soon unless someone wants a couple sent to them while they're still small. Can you tell me what varieties they are? One has rounded leaves and the other pointed.

MaryT says... They LOVE water, don't they? I have had a big one in a pot for years; just grows luscious leaves but no sign of flowers yet. It was growing too tall so I took the top off if then I read that they fruit from the top only. Sigh. Anyway IOU for those seeds; let me know if I can send you something, won't you? | About the Author MaryT Sydney 21st October 2012 9:07pm #UserID: 5412 Posts: 2066 View All MaryT's Edible Fruit Trees |

Phil@Tyalgum says... Have you ever tasted fruit from your seedling tree John? The flavours of Yeem Pay vs Guy Sam couldn't be more different. I wonder how unnamed seedlings perform. And thanks Mary T, will be watching your posts carefully to see if there is anything I can nab... has anyone had any red Bayberries germinate yet? | About the Author TyalgumPhil Murwillumbah 21st October 2012 9:41pm #UserID: 960 Posts: 1377 View All TyalgumPhil's Edible Fruit Trees |

John Mc says... My seedling fruit is georgeous. I have another interesting seedling that is growing well. It came from a chinese community in Sydney. They said it was a very special tree to treasure, and I am. Has anyone grafted them? I'd like to know when and how it's done. Bayberry? I think I stuffed mine by experimenting too much. Nevermind, They'll stay in place for at least a couple of years just in case. I heard on the grapevine that a nursery or two were propagating them in Aus, but that is as far as I got. I'll try and make further inquiries. | About the Author JohnMc1 Warnervale NSW 21st October 2012 10:10pm #UserID: 2743 Posts: 2043 View All JohnMc1's Edible Fruit Trees |

davewastech says... Guy Siam vs Yeem Pay. I would like to plant a Wampi in Sydney. What are the pros and cons of these varieties in terms of taste, tree appearance and suitability to Sydney's climate? I was considering to purchase a grafted plant from Daleys and place it near the north wall of my house. | About the Author davewastech Sydney 3rd November 2012 8:08pm #UserID: 7097 Posts: 115 View All davewastech's Edible Fruit Trees |

Miranda says... The grafted Guy Sum I bought from Daleys is sweet and seedless, grows really well in sydney. It is in full bloom now. It was struggled a bit when I transplant it into clay soil and didn't give enough water. They grow fast if you water and fertilise regularly. Wampee trees fruit better, heavier and have longer life if you grow them in loam soil. Guy Sum fruits need to be leave on tree until skin fully covered in brown. | About the Author Miranda 3rd November 2012 10:36pm #UserID: 5193 Posts: 25 View All Miranda's Edible Fruit Trees |

sternus1 says... Grant, if you're just getting into fruit trees and have a new space or whatever, I'd encourage you not to make the mistake I did of buying and planting out everything I could get my hands on--especially if I deemed this to be unusual or rare. Now, as I'm up to about 150 unique trees, I am regretting planting out a lot of things and find myself constantly removing things and replacing them with better stuff. Wampee was one of those, and frankly I won't buy another because I can use the space for something that tastes better tbh. I live on 3 acres of land--but getting water to that space if it were to be covered in fruit trees would be insane--just not doable. For example, I would plant out a loquat over a wampee in a heartbeat. Even the best wampee won't compare to even an acceptable loquat. Just a better fruit, more productive and a nicer looking tree. Or I'd plant out a good carambola (arkin or giant siam) just watch the grommet around this one because under ripe fruit can be dangerous to eat. Or maybe a red shatoot mulberry, which is a must-have fruit tree, really. Avocado, sapote, the list goes one and on. Anyway I suppose what I'm saying is save your space for the best stuff--chances are, you'll wish you had at some point in the future. | About the Author sternus1 Australia 22nd September 2014 4:11pm #UserID: 8314 Posts: 1318 View All sternus1's Edible Fruit Trees |

Grant says... Very generous of you Sternus, i might take you up on the DF cuttings, i already have a spiky yellow (this is right up among the best fruit on my list) and young aztec gem, but i have room for one or two more. I have a fingerlime that my kids raid, fruit never makes it inside so i am ok on that front. Here is my email canvo11athotmaildotcom i am more than happy to pay you for your trouble Thanks for your input Gimme | About the Author Grant Lennox Head 22nd September 2014 10:10pm #UserID: 6119 Posts: 156 View All Grant's Edible Fruit Trees |

davewastech says... Can somebody remind me what month our Yeem Pay Wampi should flower(in Sydney)? It looks like mine is not going to flower at all this year. In 2013 I seem to recall it flowered about October, November. But I definitely recall the fruit, we ate them in February - and they were delicious! (Must be some varieties are better than others - I've tried a lot of loquats in my lifetime, but nothing near as tasty as my wampi).
