Canistel

Comments: - Pouteria campechiana. I grew them from seeds - from a man called Mike in Cairns. It's been a long road with these seedlings and I have nearly lost them at times - but I finally have one growing well now, and another hanging in there. Fingers crossed. They don't like our winters here - but as they get bigger I suspect they will get hardier?
These are planted in large raised garden beds that are north facing, around our pool area. Quite challenging here.
