Dwarf Mango - King Thai (Grafted)

Comments: -

Plant arrived in May 2020 in great condition with soil still damp. Will plant this into a pot after 1-2 weeks outside and provide updates. 

We will see how it copes with winter in Toowoomba - may have to bring it inside on cool nights

May 2020 - Was mildly sunburnt just after purchase and potting. Although it arrived full and bushy the tree has gradually dropped most of its leaves - perhaps due to the sunburn or winter approaching (if Apr-May isn't too early for this). It is still holding onto a few leaves and beginning to produce new ones - just looking a little straggly currently (photo uploaded).

Where are you located and is your tree fruiting? I've read that the plant only fruits (well) in tropical areas.

I m in Sydney west. I have several jambolan plum trees growing in in india on my farm. They usually fruit after 4..5 yrs of planting. Also i bought this as few days ago only and is growing in a pot. Need to wait 3..4 yrs for fruit though. Once its eastablished it should fruit as in syd weather. Not sure about melbourne though

affected by frost in 2017, but is now coming back

RE POTTED in to bigger pot WITH OSMOCOTE ORANGE PACK AUG 2019, NO FRUIT IN 2019-20 Season, After re potting into bigger pot, lot of growth has come from below. also did 2 air layering on 04.05.2020 on same

Mango - Bowen Seedling (Seedling) ^7/10

Comments: -

Mangoes are one of my favourite fruits. Love tropical plants and growing them in Melbourne is a challenge but also quite rewarding when it's successful.

I had blossoms and tiny fruits on my mango tree in the second and third year but all the fruits fell. Does anyone have any advice on how to look after the blossoms and to get some fruits from mango tree.

Dragon Fruit - Pearl

Governors Plum - seedling (Seedling) ^4/10

Comments: - Quite an attractive bush, but can have very large thorns. I find the small fruit pleasant with a mild sweet flavour. Unfortunately this did not fruit for many years and STILL has very small amounts of fruit, despite there being three adjacent from one another, with beehives closeby.

Plum - Red seedling (Seedling) ^9/10

Comments: - Grew this plant from seed of fruit labelled as Red Plum, which might actually be October Sun. The tree has now fruited and the result is a firm, very dark red plum with a good flavour. Crop has been limited, possibly due to need for cross-pollination, so have now planted another plum tree nearby for that purpose. Growing in Sydney.

Dwarf Peach - Fresno (Grafted) ^8/10

Comments: -

DECEMBER 2019

 A small tree, exceptional yellow fruit with a free stone.  This peach has done well in our yard.  It seemed clear of curl leaf when I purchased but have sprayed just to make sure it's okay. with copper hydroxide.  Is planted in between an apricot and a nectarine in full sun along a fence with north west exposure and seems to be enjoying it.  Flowered this year but removed buds (only 2 year old tree)

Lapsi - Nepalese Hog Plum

Comments: -

It's a native fruit of Nepal so I was hoping it would be more hardy than other types of  Hog Plums. However it has been very difficult to establish. The trick seems to be to keep them completely dry over winter as with growing all other Spondias species in Melbourne. They can survive over Winter from the water stored in their tuberous roots but if you water them during that time they will die.

Mango - Calypso (Seedling) ^8/10

Comments: -

This mango is a Calypso seedling I planted in 2012. It has a very small and compact growth habit and is just over a meter tall at 7 years old. I transplanted it into a 130L pot thinking that it was root bound in its original 60L pot only to discover that it had a very small root system and was nowhere near filling its original pot. This probably explains its dwarf growth habit.

this is the only mango that currently grows in my yard that doesn%u2019t require any spraying of fungicides to control anthracnose. It seems to have a very high natural resistance to this disease. It has just started flowering in 2019 and has set many fruit. Hopefully they will hang on till maturity and taste at least as good as the original Calypso.

Tropical apricot - Eugenia myrcianthes (Seedling) ^2/10

Comments: -

Sounds nice , should get fruit 2019/20 ,lost flowers last year as I planted it from a large pot . Update 28/10/19 produced one apricot looking fruit that I had bagged till it dropped ripe . Tasted horrid , sweet with a tart tropical fruit taste ( mango/apricot ) juicy, and a strong pungent garlic flavour that is so bad that I can't believe this was sold to me as a fruit tree ,it's yuck . However I will give it another year to see if fruit improves . 

I did not buy this from Daleys.
