G'day mate, the viewers are appreciating you getting out in the rain! I just wanted to comment in regards to the Roseapple. Until 6 months ago I had zero experience in Roseapple but after visting Tu, he put me on to air layered large branches on facebook in the Vietnamese community. I put it in ground early august and it is booming now! Just wanted to let you know to check on matket place. I think in Vietnamese it's "cay li" or "cay ly" Cheers
I've been checking Marketplace for Rose Apple and other trees, but there's confusion with the Vietnamese sellers. They mislabel Rose Apple for Wax jambu and vice versa! Thanks for the heads up, Paul!
@@RealLifeFruitopia i just verified the spelling.. Search by "Cây Lý" since the sellers are likely to be Vietnamese. Alternatively, from the Fruit I ate I have several seedlings if you would like to have the strongest one
I got 2 tamarillo from Daley's 3 years ago, huge amount of fruit in the first year. One of them got snapped by high winds, but I managed to grow several cuttings from the fallen tree. I also get lots of seeds germinating from the fruit, I probably have 10 tamarillos now and have given away many aswell.
Glad you are trying another roseapple George. Interestingly that's the only Syzygium ( Jambos ) I've kept alive for several years in a container and its a good 1.5 tall and wide but still hasn't flowered for me , although i also have quite a large Jamun / Jambolan specimen ( S. Cumini ) . So far I've failed to keep the more tropical wax jambu / wax apple / java apples ( S . Samarangense and S. Malaccense ) alive for more than a few months in a container 🙄
I'm not giving up on Rose Apple, now matter how long it takes, just as I didn't give up with Wax Jambu which are now happily settled inground after their first winter. You've defintely done well with many of your tropicals, Brett.
Loved the video George. I’ve been able to keep rose apple alive in a pot so far. It’s a marcot and is 4 - 5 years old. I found mine to be very fussy with water requirements. The first 2-3 years it was a very fine line between killing it from too much water and too little water. So I would lean more towards less rather than more. Now being older it responds better to watering but I’m still cautious about how much I give it.
It's good to know that your rose apple is doing well, looks nice and big too. I planted the new one in the ground after debating putting it in a pot. Fingers crossed! 🤞
My mango 🥭 plants grow very well in pots since I have 2 × Lady Jane & 1 × Honey Gold Mango seedling plant in 300 millimetre diameter (14 litre) plant pots which are 3 years old now, one of my Lady Jane seedling plants is 1.5 metres tall as is my Honey Gold Mango 🥭 seedling mango plant,my other Lady Jane seedling plants is about 1 metre tall now & they have about a 15 millimetre diameter trunk now. Once they start losing their green trunk & it turns grey & even starts growing bark I move them out into full sunlight from under the shade of the Japanese maple tree & they have loved the hot 37° (100°F) heat during summer time, combined with chicken manure, seaweed extract & water they grow like mad then. Next year they will be planted in the ground once I move,my dad wants to buy one of them off me because his Kensington Pride mango plant isn't doing too well due to the shade I think. It looks like we're both having a La Nina weather event with all of that rain,we will get a 31°C day soon then it will cool down to the low 20°C mark when it rains again which is soon !
Your mangoes are doing well thanks to the warmer winters. The weather here has been really nice this October, much warmer than year, swum 5 times already. Also, today, Melbourne had its first 30C day since March!
In Aussie do you any problems with the lychee Erinose mite(Leaf Curl Mite)?? Many nurseries and backyard gardeners in FL are experiencing this problem where the end result is cutting down and getting rid of the tree.
I normally never buy R2E2 as have never liked but I got a colourful one and liked it so I planted seed. They are a Poly so one is true, the strongest one as a lady near Perth fruited her seedling in 3years. You know what R2E2 means? Row2 and 2 from End in a trial planting. I've got 10yo Wai Chi that done nothing and keeps dying back But B3 & Tai So are soon flowering yay. Look up Che fruit as a friend is developing and I'm growing Rootstock. Like to taste Rose Apple ✅
I like that the R2E2 is big and meaty for desserts and ice cream, plus it's cold tolerant. Lychee is super slow in Melbourne, so I'm not going to think about it as my 6-year-old Bosworth hasn't done anything.
@@RealLifeFruitopia I know Daley's has R2E2 seedlings but if you plant seed flat directly in ground it will grow stronger - just remove the weaker ones. Plus if you plant Lychee in ground must be in a decent 10in not 3in raised bed.
Being in a cool temperate growing zone, any mango will remain dwarf size. There's a 25 yo seedling mango tree a few miles from me that's around 15 feet. In the tropics, the same tree would be well over 40 feet. R2E2 is a popular Australian mango sold across the country, but it's far from being my favourite tasting mango. I bought the new tree because it's cold tolerant, slow growing, and meatier than most for putting into desserts and ice cream.
Good luck, George.
R2E2 is an excellent choice for colder climates. It continued growing for me here in Sydney even during Winters.
Cool, thanks!
Great to see your new rose apple baby. She got a very unique flavor and the most beautiful flower. I am trying in a pot too. Hoping success.
Wonderful! I love the taste and fragrance of jungle apples!

@@UrbanBounty Thanks for the strongest seed, but prefer to begin with a tree. I'll keep watching, while the young one grows.

Wind and frost protection are key with tamarillos. Plenty of water as well.
They grow like weeds in northern NZ
I know all about their needs. I've been growing them for 15 years!

Incredible video! Do you have any tips for growing a Guava tree in zone 9b Florida?
There's many fruit nurseries in Central, and South Florida that may help you in regards to tips for growing guava trees.
I have a few videos on growing guava. Check my playlists.
Rose apples always get riddled with Myrtle rust here in Auckland, New Zealand- I got rid of mine.
That's too bad.

I don't know. Maybe someone else can chime in.
I've learned about this mite from Florida videos (Fruitful Trees). It's not common in Australia. The lcyhee industry is also relatively small here.
@@desidownunder2085 Good to know. Hopefully, we won't experience that here!

I was wondering with your Australian R2E2 mango what is the flavor profile??? Whats the growth habit(vigorous,dwarf,average)??
