Wampee - Yeem Pay ^9/10

Comments: -

Wonderful, rather complex taste. Fruited after 2 years. All the fruit ripened at the same time (February). Attractive shrub, looks healthy thru the whole year (I'm in Sydney).  But in second season I got no flowers or fruit. Third season got about 70 fruit.

Seedling purchased from Daleys. I planted a few seeds from my first crop and most of them are growing (slowly - 1 year old, just 20cm high), so I suppose that's an easy way to grow them if you're not in a hurry.

Fruiting Months February

Height 1.4 metres

Growing: In the Ground

Qty: 1

First Fruited: 2 Years from purchase in pot

Pollination: No

Fertiliser or Organics Used: Citrus fertilizer 3 / year

Pest Control:

First crop had no pests, but third season about half had Qld fruit fly. (I'll net next season!)  If it didn't get fruit fly I'd rate it 11 out of 10. Up there with the yummiest! (although not quite up there with good durians...)

Organic Status:Partially Organic

Wampee - Yeem Pay ^10/10

Comments: - A very handsome tree that is now growing quite quickly after a slow start. It had its first fruit last year - a small crop but delicious if left until very ripe. The fruit fly left them alone too, which was a pleasant surprise. The tree currently has a lot of early flower shoots and I'm looking forward to a good crop this year.

Native wampee - Clausena smyrelliana (Seedling) ^7/10

Comments: - Very fast and vigorous growth - hardy and not bothered too much by the lime in the bore water either. Perhaps a possible rootstock candidate? 
Not bothered by our winters. Only planted last year so no fruit as yet.

Planted: 2018

Height 2 metres

Growing: In the Ground

Sun/Shade: Medium Sun

Water Given in: Spring

Pollination: Self Pollination

Fertiliser or Organics Used: Balanced acid lovers alternating with slow release organic chook manure pellets. Little and often

Wampee (Grafted) ^8/10

Comments: - I love the Guy Sam fruits - they are so moreish. Have had trouble getting the Yeem Pay to grow here. I have several seedling plants now, to see what they produce. If the Guy Sam fruits were bigger they could be so popular. 
Weighting the branches down inceases flowering, like it does for apples. They also need any alkalinity managed and prefer slightly acidic and organic rich soils. 
A nice looking large bush here, bees love the flowers. Likes regular watering. 
Our two 10yr old trees were relocated from 700km north and handled this well. I recently lost one of these - I don't know why at this stage. It died quite suddenly.

This was a seedling tree, so grew very quickly.  It made a lovely shade tree.......but I found the fruit too "musky" for my taste, so ended up chopping it down.

Comments: -

I appreciate the grapefruit flavour without the bitterness and sourness. And I find the grape-like clusters of fruit very appealing.

It has grown very well in a sunny spot after one year, at almost the same rate as my Eureka lemon.  In my previous garden I put the same variety in a shaded spot and it was very slow growing- until it reached the sun.

Question: I tried an elongated Wampi at Tropical Fruit World, and am wondering now if I should have planted a Yeem Pay variety. Anyone compared that with the Guy Sam?
