custard apple (Grafted)

Sheree's Edible Fruits
Update: 5725 days 19hrs

Comments: -

Not sure what root stock this is on but it was marketed as a cold tolerant variety.  Hasn't seen any damage as yet and is a fairly slow grower.  I think it needs to move from where it is though.  In hind sight it's going to need more room and it definetly needs to be out of reach of the passionfruit vine!  - so I translanted this one to a roomier position and then got a nasty frost.  It does not look happy at all!  But it's still hanging in there.  Compost and worm juice and we'll see what happens

Custard Apple - \'Paxton\'s Prolific\' (cv. KJ Pink\'s) (Grafted) 10/10

BJ's Edible Fruits
Update: 5267 days 11hrs

Comments: -

Budsport of Pink's Mammoth, so same type of fruit, just self-pollinates much better.

In its first season it had many flowers and set two fruits while still in its 6l bag, which I had to knock off so it didnt get too stressed at this size. Going into the ground when dormant in winter.

2011 - has set fruit already. Nice growth rate and easily managed. Brilliant!

Custard Apple -KJ Pinks (Grafted)

VF1's Edible Fruits
Update: 5068 days 16hrs

Comments: -

Bought as I love the fruit, but wanted an easy care variety ie. no hand pollination required, and smaller tree.  Should taste good as is a bud sport of "Pinks Mammoth", a tasty fruit.  Plant very eager to set fruit (set a couple when still in pot, and again when planted out early this year - I removed, as plant too immature and shapeless yet.)  Looking forward to great fruit.

Height 1.3 metres

Growing: In the Ground

Qty: 1

Sun/Shade: Full Sun

Water Given in: Summer

Pollination: Self Pollination

Fertiliser or Organics Used: Citrus feed and Seasol

When I Fertilise: Spring

Pest Control:

Tree small enough for me to manually remove the odd scale insect, but may have to use white oil spray as tree grows.  Nil other problems yet.

Paulaf1's Edible Fruits
Update: 5773 days 21hrs

Comments: -

This tree is very easy to look after.  I just prune it to the shape I want it, and fruit fly don't seem to bother it at all.  I get about 20 fruit off it each year which I find is more than enough as they all ripen at once.  This year I took a few green ones off every couple of days, but the ones left on the tree all ripened at the same time.  Next year will scoop them out and freeze the pulp for smoothies.

Fruiting Months June

Planted: 2004

Height 4 metres

Growing: In the Ground

Qty: 1

Fruit Harvest: 15 kilograms per Year

First Fruited: 3 Years from purchase in pot

Sun/Shade: Full Sun

Pollination: No

Fertiliser or Organics Used: dynamic lifter, horse manure and sugarcane mulch.

Pest Control:

The only problem I seem to have so far is scale, which I just wipe off, and if I leave the fruit on too long the lorikeets steal the odd one.

Custard Apple - Hilary White 8/10

Townfarm1's Edible Fruits
Update: 5744 days 21hrs

Comments: -

Yet to fruit.  Gets a fair bit of wind and we live on the water so I have had it staked.  Trying to keep growth under control as I am limited with space.

I have a few flowers on this tree now so am hoping the high winds don't blow them off!

I think I pruned it at the wrong time so didn't get fruit again this year.  I think I will just leave it alone this year and see what happens.
