Could you hit me with an email at peterantoniw@msn.com to discuss this.Luke :) says... [2581 days 14hrs ago] Hi there, ive just startrd growing this in Adelaide as well, was wondering if it has fruited and how it does in winter, for me the leaves roll up.Peter91 says... [2581 days 8hrs ago] Hey Luke, Any white sapote will grow fine I'm Adelaide and fruit, just expect it to look a bit ratty in the first year as it adjusts to the Adelaide climate and will probably drop leaves in the first year of winter etc but will make a full comeback.Luke :) says... [2564 days 9hrs ago] Cheers Peter91, eased my worries on the leaf curl. Seems the growth spurt just before winter didn't have time to harden off and curled up like little tubes.* You need your own My Edibles Page to contribute Quick & Easy |
