Custard Apple - African Pride (Grafted)Edward3's Edible FruitsUpdate: 252 days 21hrs Comments: - Said to be delicious and not requiring hand pollination, so want to try growing this. In 2022 most branches dried up so were trimmed off. Remaining small branch above graft survived and is growing well, so fingers crossed. Suspect the roots are very susceptible to phytophthora, so am applying Yates Anti Rot spray on leaves once in Winter and again in early Spring. Interesting to see if this helps.

Custard Apple - Paxton Prolific (Grafted)Edward3's Edible FruitsUpdate: 252 days 21hrs Comments: - Said to be delicious, with fewer seeds, and not requiring hand pollination, so want to try growing this.Set 2 fruits in 2023, but syddenly all leaves dried up, so I removed the fruits and will wait to see if the tree will recover. Unfortunately, I found collar rot next to the soil and the tree died.

Black Sapote - Superb (Grafted) 7/10Edward3's Edible FruitsUpdate: 350 days 23hrs Comments: - Needed a second black sapote to aid in pollination. The specimen from Daley's looked rather weak and spindly and is extremely slow growing in part shade. However, first fruit (just one) in 2013 was delicious, so this variety definitely passes the taste test.Have now bought a second plant from Daley's as I am convinced it's needed for cross pollination for the large seedling tree. But the grafted trees are growing extremely slowly. One of the grafted trees suddenly dropped its leaves and died. Somewhat puzzling, but, growing close to the large seedling black sapote, it might not have been able to compete for water. Bought one more grafted tree in 2018 and planted in a different location where it won't have to compete with other trees. This time it is growing well. However, 5 years later still not getting any fruit. Flowers drop off.

Guava Hawaiian - Pink Supreme (Cutting) 8/10Edward3's Edible FruitsUpdate: 350 days 23hrs Comments: - Produces plenty of very tasty fragrant fruit with a mix of sweet with a hint of sour. Extra bonus - chewing of young leaves are an excellent remedy for diarrhea and stomach bugs. Well known remedy in Asia. Too much trouble with fruit fly, and fruit bats and rats so have removed this tree to make room for others. Fruiting Months May Planted: 2008 Height 2 metres Growing: In the Ground Qty: 1 Fruit Harvest: 50 Fruit Per Year First Fruited: 6 Months after I planted Cutting Sun/Shade: Medium Sun Pruned By: 20% in Pollination: Self Pollination When I Fertilise: Spring Pest Control: Initially sprayed against fruit fly, but now prefer to use plastic bags over fruit which is close to ripening and it seems to work well.

[807 days 19hrs ago] Hi mate - if you have spare scion woods, can you pls let me know so I can try grafting to my white sapote seedling tree? I am happy to pay for them and perhaps go for a drive down to the South Coast one weekend to collectChad1 says... [682 days 19hrs ago] Sorry I just saw your comment. If you still need some let me know and forget about payingStephen9 says... [523 days 22hrs ago] Hi Chad1, sorry I don't use this Daley forum website often and just came across your response. Thanks mate for the offer, but it is not urgent and I will try to source some other varieties white sapote scions to graft onto my seedling tree project sometime in the near future. Same, we are based in the same state NSW and so if you are after a particular scion(s) I may have spare, let me know and I can try to assist* You need your own My Edibles Page to contribute Quick & Easy |
White Sapote - Pike (Grafted) 10/10Health101orgarticles1's Edible FruitsUpdate: 716 days 9hrs Comments: - This must be the best fruit for taste and climate range and low fruit fly problem for some unknown reason. Good near a public area because its skin stays green when ripe, and so does not attract as much attention from people who don't know the fruit. Fruiting Months January, February, March, December Planted: 2003 Growing: In the Ground Qty: 1 Fruit Harvest: 20 kilograms per Year First Fruited: 4 Years from purchase in pot Sun/Shade: Full Sun Water Given in: Autumn SummerPollination: No Pest Control: Sulfur crested cockatoos are a big problem many years after planting, they just practice their bite and drop the fruit uneaten but bitten. Bats eventually find the fruit tree years after planting. Then they harvest every year. Organic Status:Organic Question: Why a very low fruit fly problem? Was this review helpful?
