My Edible Fruit Trees: Stone Fruit NSW

Plum - Red seedling (Seedling) ^9/10

Comments: - Grew this plant from seed of fruit labelled as Red Plum, which might actually be Amber Jewel. The tree has now fruited and the result is a firm, very dark red large plum with a good flavour. Crop has been limited, possibly due to need for cross-pollination, so have now planted another plum tree nearby for that purpose. Grows vigorously in Sydney. 

Planted: 2015

Height 3 metres

Growing: In the Ground

Qty: 1

Fruit Harvest: 10 Fruit Per Year

First Fruited: 4 Years from Seed

Sun/Shade: Full Sun

Water Given in: Autumn

Pollination: Self Pollination

Pest Control: Using fruit bags on individual plums.

Mango - Thai seedling ^8/10

Comments: - Grew this tree from seed from a Thai mango bought in Cabramatta. The stem has a copper colour - quite different from our other mango trees. It produced one mango in 2022 which was very tasty. So far this variety seems disease resistant.

Planted: 2017

Height 1.5 metres

Growing: In the Ground

Qty: 1

First Fruited: 4 Years from purchase in pot

Nashi Pear - Nijisseiki (Grafted) ^8/10

Comments: -

Fruited profusely but fruit rather small. So it looks necessary to thin fruit in order to get larger size.

Tree healthy but not vigorous. Did not fruit in 2022, but plentiful crop in 2023.

Planted: 2017

Height 1.5 metres

Fruit Harvest: 20 Fruit Per Year

Plum - President (Grafted) ^9/10

Comments: - Tree growing in Katoomba. Excellent slightly tart flavour. Must be patient not to pick till fully ripe to get best flavour, but not allow to overripen as it will lose flavour completely.

Dragon Fruit - Pearl (Cutting) ^9/10

Comments: - This Vietnamese variety produces quite tasty, sweet fruit - red skin, white flesh. Better tasting than the red flesh variety. Should be eaten soon after picking to get best flavour. Importantly the fruit doesn't get affected by fruit fly or other pests, so is  recommended.

Mango - Alfonso (Grafted) ^7/10

Comments: -

Good looking wide-spreading tree. Supposed to be one of the favourite mango varieties in India. Have had a few fruit in 2017. Not as tasty as my other mango varieties, but will check taste in next few seasons before giving a verdict. Susceptible to disease so got very few fruits.

Comments

Any luck with fruit set?

Yes, had some fruit set last year but only 3 mangoes. The Sydney weather this Spring has been good so expect to get more fruit staying on the tree.

Mango - Bowen Seedling (Seedling) ^8/10

Comments: -

Very tasty fruit, but fruit set depends very much on the weather being right at flowering time, so some years get very little fruit. In 2017 got a huge crop due to the combination of dry weather at flowering time and good rain after fruit set. But in subsequent years rain caused disease and got very few mangoes.

Plum - Reine Claude de Bavay (Grafted) ^9/10

Comments: - This variety is reported to be very tasty and is popular in Europe. Does not appear to be available in Australia, but I was fortunate to obtain one from a private grower in Victoria. Tree being grown in Katoomba. First fruit in 2017 - very similar to green gage so I suspect it is not Reine Claude. Bought a scion of Reine Claude in 2021 from grower guaranteeing it is genuine, and grafted it on.
