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. 

Have planted a new tree in 2024 and am monitoring it for any sign of fungus. Have applied Yates Anti Rot in Spring, and so far so good.

Custard Apple - African Pride (Grafted)

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.

Comments: - Growing in Katoomba and was considerably damaged by snowfall, but has managed to grow new branches above graft. Very good taste. But summer 2017 was very wet and taste not as good. Excellent in 2018. Important to pick before very ripe, otherwise turns rather soft.

I have tasted this at Perrys Heritage Orchard in Melbourne - very tasty - as good or better than Home Grown Pinkabelle

Custard Apple - Paxton Prolific

Apple - Pink lady ^9/10

Comments: - Delicious flavour. Much better than from shops. Growing in Katoomba. However, very susceptible to black spot, so much so that I shall be reworking this tree to another less susceptible variety as I am not keen on frequent spraying with fungicide.
