My Edible Fruit Trees: South American Trees

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. This sems to have helped. However, the single branch is not making any progress.

Custard Apple - Paxton Prolific (Grafted)

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.

Feijoa - Unique cutting ^10/10

Comments: - Delicious large fruit. In 2024, the crop was extremely numerous and so many fruits were small. Looks like it's important to thin the fruit.
