Fruit Tree Forum LikesPrab410 has LIKED the following:Annona grafted onto asimina rootstock - Hi 410 I think there's a chance that grafting annona into asimina rootstock will work because they belong to the same annonaceae family just like grafting different stone fruit cv into one stone fruit rootstock. I know that people have successful..Liked Answer 348 days 15hrs Mangosteen5 - Lucs Garcinia is a similar related fruit of high quality that is much easier to grow where normal mangosteen would fail...Liked Answer 662 days 9hrs Garcinia intermedia - Hey Bangkokii, I'm inclined to think that the problem with the Melbourne summer heat may have just as much to do with the dryness of the air, as much as it is the temperature of it. When the east coast of Australia has its summer heat waves, the N/NW a..Liked Answer 691 days 6hrs Garcinia intermedia - Hi 410, The original leaves were grown in a longer growing climate before it was located at your place. In my experience garcinia requires a constant growing season. In the temperate zone, although Spring brings warmer weather, there is also regular..Liked Answer 691 days 6hrs Garcinia intermedia - Hey all, I just found an Achacha. It was putting out some new growth (pictures taken 18 January 2019), so I'm adding some mid Summer pictures of Achacha new growth in Sydney to the catalogue :) These should get a pretty good run, as far as weather g..Liked Answer 691 days 6hrs Garcinia intermedia - Dry air and wind is an enemy more than high temps.Mid to high 40s should be fine if humidity is high...Liked Answer 691 days 6hrs Help with plant spacing and position - I see about the wind; I was just thinking that it would give you extra depth. :) I can't dig so I just prop the trees up and chuck soil on top. Rather primitive compared with your thoughtful preparation...Liked Answer 718 days 9hrs Mangosteen5 - I have two small Mangosteens (about 600 mm tall) still in their tall pots (about 250 mm tall) on the Central Coast of NSW.

Drumstick Tree ( Moringa ) (Seedling) 10/10![]() Update: 588 days 7hrs Comments: - Growing very fast this summer 2019 (photo was taken one year ago). Already about 1m tall. All leaves drop in the winter and dies back a little bit and then bounces back stronger when the weather warms up in the late spring. First flowered late autumn last year and didnt hold on when the weather cooled down. 2019 winter - Tree has grown taller than my colourbond fence which is on top of a 600cm retain wall. height is now close to 2m. Extremely fast growing and not bothered at all by the 40degC melbourne summer days. Flowering started earlier than last year (late summer) but no sign of pods forming.
