Sandy starts with ... I would like to grow Custard Apple, Soursup, sapadilla and mango in my garden. I have successfully grown the tamarillo and curry leaf (karapincha) trees and wondered if any of the above trees would grow down here. I have tried to grow the Murunga plant but find that although the seeds germinate well in the summer they don't seemt to survive the winter even if I keep them in a portable 'green house'. Any suggestions would be appreciated. | About the Author Sandy8 Melbourne 10th July 2011 5:09pm #UserID: 5531 Posts: 1 View All Sandy8's Edible Fruit Trees |
J says... My mango (kensington pride) has survived 1 winter outside and is doing well in the second one right now. Sapodilla I have in a green house during winter. So far so good but it remains to be seen if either of those trees will ever fruit. With custard apple, you'd be better off growing cherimoya which is a custard apple relative and can fruit in melbourne. My cherimoya tree is outside and doing well this winter. Finally there is a lengthy thread about growing tropicals in melbourne on this forum. You'd best have a long read through that as you'll find more detailed answers to your questions. | About the Author J upwey 10th July 2011 6:32pm #UserID: 2954 Posts: 397 View All J's Edible Fruit Trees |

epiphany says... I have a Bowen mango surviving well in my garden. I also have an African Pride custard apple that is doing well & flowered this year. However they're both in (very) large pots so I can move them around in winter. I don't know how well they'll do long term but it's been interesting so far! Melbourne always surprises me with what will grow here - I have a couple of black sapotes that are powering along, for example... Good luck! | About the Author epiphany2 Melbourne 11th July 2011 11:00am #UserID: 703 Posts: 84 View All epiphany2's Edible Fruit Trees |
