My Edible Fruit Trees: Dwarf Apple Trees WA

Dwarf Custard Apple - Tropic Sun (Grafted) ^8/10

Comments: - This is our very first fruit, but the tree has been flowering for the past 2yrs. Seems to have some trouble self pollinating so I may have to assist next time. It's almost totally deciduous in our winter here. It's growing strongly and is in a large raised bed facing north - in our pool area which has a 6ft brick wall around it - so a nice microclimate in winter and summer.

Planted: 2014

First Fruited: 4 Years from purchase in pot

Sun/Shade: Full Sun

Pollination: Hand Pollination

Fertiliser or Organics Used: Balanced Acid lovers alternating with slow release organic chook manure pellets, little and often during the growing season. Sulphur in early spring if needed.

The birds pick at it when the fruit is tiny, and thin it out for me. By the time the fruit rippens the birds have gone off it, and we get lovely apples:)

Dwarf Apple - Pink Lady (Grafted) ^9/10

Comments: -

I LOVE this apple! Compared to those in the supermarkets, nothing even comes close! I remember the first apple I ate from this tree. It was a dark pink, as I  bit into it I felt the juices dribbling down my mouth, and a burst of flavour delivered to my senses. Total extasy! The sweetness, with a hint of tartness, and the power and flavour of a hundred store bought apples, meant that I spent the entire afternoon, gauging myself on every apple on the tree!

This tree is the one that started it all for me. I now have five apple, five pear, two plum, two peach, one nectarine, five passionfruit, ten grapes, six citrus, two cherry, three gauva, two mulberry and four olives! This tree started an obsession.

 Dwarf Granny Smith purchased early Feb 2010 to aid pollination for my pinkabells, and of course to eat and cook with :) It is nearly at full height and I know it will produce well as it had fruit when I purchased it from Tass1, but I removed them before transplanting.
