Haha, thanks Brett for tuning in and the kind words. Some of your recent posts I've seen you share those food dishes, they look absolutely delicious... enjoy, make the most out of life it is short and happy gardening as it is our common interest 🙂

They are all gone. If any doesn't make through for example people being difficult or not providing a valid residential delivery address I will get back to you.

I use an organic slow release pellet fertilizer including brands such as Katek, Searles or QLD Organic XTRA which ever brand is available at the time of my visit to the local nursery.

Thank you mate for watching and the kind comments 🙂

Sorry no, Sydney lies in the 'warm temperate' zone and would be impossible to naturally grow and get Purple Mangosteen fruits as they are truely ultra-tropical trees along with the Durian, Rambutan etc. Instead I try to grow it's distant garcinia cousin the Achacha which has more chances to bear fruits here in my climate.

I don't sell but instead giving these away to RUclipsrs I know or are compassionate growing exotic fruit trees like myself. There is only one left about 1.5m long which I had to check on tonight because the pod cover is all black and I can confirm the rooting is a success drive.google.com/file/d/15P9VIcZKCBSAKk0uHJ56IQ7jbZFI_N9H/view?usp=drive_link Where about are you in Sydney and please note there is another person in line before you who is located in Haymarket?

@@sydneyfruittreesgrowerThanks for the offer. I am in Fairfield.

Many thanks Ben! Hey sorry about the mangoes as I have promised a few RUclipsrs and also a large family to divide the rations, but happy to share many of the different fresh varieties for you to try next season 🙂 Also if you are interested in the Fay Zee Siu lychee marcot to experiment please PM and let me know as I have many people asking me for them.

I have indicated the sunrise & sunset positions at 14:01 and had also share tips growing lychees on my sample dwarf Wai Chee variety from another similar question - photo taken today drive.google.com/file/d/1YXNQEeoQjh6v0d4nXO9d0Dq4l5P4BARt/view?usp=drive_link All mine are marcots and I try to use my hands to brush off black scale or hose down the white powder I believe are called woolly aphids.

Thanks for the reminder, cheers 👍

No worries Paul, I'll wait to get your email details from Neil or alternatively get it from one of your earlier video going down to Mr. Can's nursery to give out dragonfruit cuttings

Thanks Neil, it's been a while and I hope you are well. Sorry for the long reply but if you are interested in some of the marcots, please PM and let me know. Pic(1) I have x2 Biew Kiew Longan available with fruits hanging on & roots visable seen through clear side of pod. Pic(2) x1 Chompoo Longan avail. Pic (3,4) Fay Zee Sui x2 extra large size & x1 medium size avail. Pic(5) KP mangoes beginning to yellow so not only Paul, I would also like to send some fresh ones down for you to try to celebrate our gardening venture into the year 2025. Pic(6) Only a heads up if you or Paul interested in extra large size Peanut Butter fruit tree should George not decide to take. Still have not marcot yet but man, it is huge over 2m in y-shape structure with one side of the branch full of flowers while the other side has fruit drive.google.com/file/d/1TXIz-B9AFwNkgNGpvnxwiAkVKPwm9Xzr/view?usp=drive_link

@ your a very generous guy, I’ll make a approach graft if a variegated sabara for you when I have some more rootstocks

Believe me you would not want any bigger yard as it is very hard work maintaining and so people I see bosting on the Internet having acres of land for their food forest, I would say good luck to them 🙂 I have no interest to sell but rather donate to enthusiasts if you are not too far from where I am in Sydney and since I am Private would just prefer dropping it in your letterbox or front door and run off.

Thank you but i know it’ takes a lot of time and effort to grow those tropical fruit trees. I can’t take them for nothing. More over I am interested in your knowledge about them. Would love to start a group of like minded subtropical fruit tree growers from Sydney. I live in the city and belong to two community garden here. 😂😂let’s keep in touch.

Also I am picking up 6 two years old mango trees from a backyard grower today to graft mature mango trees onto them. As such I would love a few branches of your most prolific fruiting mango trees like Kensington. 😂😂😂any stem that has a growing bud will do. As for the air layered Lychee- I would love one, will exchange any thing for them. I have access to two gardens, but then I don’t think you have any space to grow anything else 😂😂😂please send the mango stem if you can’t drop them off to Haymarket. 😂😂😂

Hi @desidownunder2085, I've finally meet the man! I have seen you on many Facebook posts, congrats on getting lychee fruits for the first time and also sorry to see your banana bunch fell off during the heavy windy days. I am based out in south west Sydney and who knows we may run into each other possibly @Bravo nursery 😄

@@sydneyfruittreesgrower haha I haven't been to many local nurseries. Bravo is right next to my place. Do you get a lot of stuff from there?

@@desidownunder2085 not often I go down to Bravo nursery but the last time I was there I got the Ichi Ki Kei Jiro

@ I'll surely go and check it out now. I've had the worst luck with Persimmons when ordering online. Better to check out some local stock

Thanks mate, I got to check out your channel a while back upon George's recommendation video "Acknowledging new potential superstar RUclipsr's of tomorrow". Credit goes to you have a cool greenhouse setup in Melbourne and potential success with so many exotic & tropical fruit trees 👍

@ Thanks mate. I appreciate your kind words. I love the challenge. I just need a bigger property for my addiction 😂

If you are referring to the Chompoo Longan variety segment, I think I had express myself fairly clear. Many of us are not fortunate to be in the tropic or sub-tropic zone but rather marginal/temperate climate and so will struggle to see our fruits develop to maturity when the cold winter arrives which can either stall, split or even rot the fruits. I tried something different this season I have given the heavy dense foliage a heavy prune to allow the flowering panicles get more exposure to sunlight in hope it would set fruit and reaches maturity quicker. Here's a legit Australian website link showing studies conducted on 2 variety longan trees the harvesting time which can take fairly long anywhere between 6 - 9.5 months www.agric.wa.gov.au/minor-fruits/longans-western-australia

Likewise George I also watch your channel and have high respect for your long time commitment & contribution to encourage others to grow exotic fruit trees in Melbourne and around AU. I see good signs on your Kwai Mai Pink Lychee it is slowly establishing and so fingers cross you may get some fruits this season 🤞 I also notice your frustration failing the Peanut Butter fruit tree several times and so I have a large branch on my tree that was meant to be prune... instead I can try to marcot and if successful can get back to you in the near future 🙂

@sydneyfruittreesgrower, Thank You for your wonderful offer. I'll see how this latest PB tree does in the winter.

@@RealLifeFruitopia... no worries George. I will just try marcotting anyway as there is no guarantee it will be a success and can dispose into the green bin anytime. But you'll be surprise the branch is extra large around 1.7m in a y-shape structure with one side full of flowers and the other has fruit.

Please use the link plantnet.com.au/plant-care/perfect-fruit-tree-to-grow/ Sydney is located in the "warm temperate" zone on the east coast of Australia. Where I live the lowest temperature could reach around 3°C at night in winter and a scorching 41°C during the day in summer. Sorry I do not track the number of raining days per year, but can confirm that there is adequate natural rains, tap water supply + rainwater tank storage to keep all my fruit trees healthy.

@@sydneyfruittreesgrower thank you

When the trees are small & young they do need protection from the harsh weather elements such as storm, fierce winds, sunburnt etc and so I will not give mine full sun. I gradually increase the size of the pot or growbags for 3-4yrs before I plant mine into the ground e.g. the Wai Chee variety lychee tree you see fruiting in the ground was about 4yrs old and in 75L growbag when I transplanted it into the ground last year. Cheers & good luck!

I got mine advance size in order to reduce waiting time to fruit. When the trees are strong & large enough , I transplant them into the ground in an area which gets plenty of sun

Thanks mate, the jackfruit trees are seedling yellow flesh and it did put out a strong odour ripening smell last season when I havest in late autumn (May-2024). The flesh is tasteless so I still got a couple more years required for the tree to grow bigger in order to get proper ripening fruits 🙂

First time harvested only one Kampong a few months ago... fruit still small and taste was good. The topwork grafted Pike is still young around 2 y.o. and is currently setting one first fruit for me drive.google.com/file/d/1aJQi1y5l-HK18d8vVmXas7i6_zCGDDZG/view?usp=drive_link

Just to simplify I take it your 50cm pot is around 50L capacity. My largest Wai Chee lychee tree (Photo A) that has previously fruited is in 120L pot, which is extremely heavy and I would recommend a heavy duty trolley to push it around for maintenance purposes! I also have a second younger Wai Chee tree (Photo B) approximately 5yrs old in 75L growbag which I have recently transplanted it into the ground this autumn 2024. It is now early spring in Sydney NSW and they are both flowering; while I also have other earlier lychee varieties that is currently setting fruitlets. drive.google.com/file/d/1J2woqikbH9i2JVtGVQdNGw15eLUjILGq/view?usp=drive_link

@@sydneyfruittreesgrower Wow 120L pot, I wouldn't be able to lift at all. How amazing to see you can use a crane to lift a large plant to transplant in your other video. You are at the professional level of fruit tree growing!! Thanks for the detailed reply.

Not too good, I came in arrogantly thinking I had success with lychees & longans and so trying out the rambutans should be a breeze. To my surprise not even one of them survived through last winter! However I am still keen to give it a 2nd try in the near future when I have more time... but definitely learnt from mistakes that I will have to carry them into the garage or try getting some sort of mini 'polycarbonate' greenhouse on eBay to give them that extra protection over winter while they are still young & vulnerable.

@@sydneyfruittreesgrower yeah they are a lot more tropical. I'm in Sydney as well and have been having an urge to get one and grow in a large container for the first few years. Do you know if they are ok with temp dipping below 10 in winner?

Hi Dale, thanks for the compliments mate. Growing exotic & tropical free trees is my pride & joy as I see they reward you with delicious fresh fruits to consume. My garden is also becoming a jungle with so many new trees acquisition leading to less room to move about and so I too have to constantly work hard to maintain & clearing space! Looking forward to see your newly post video on your backyard garden jungle workout and I did see your Durian taste review last night while I had mine over here in Sydney which sells at around $22 a pack 🙂 drive.google.com/file/d/1dI9Lk47UC2TBWp8YGOCY-EHd85-kRIyd/view?usp=drive_link

@@sydneyfruittreesgrower COOL Mate 😎 🙂 What a coincedence we're both eating Durian hehe 👍 😀

My jackfruit trees is approximately 4.5m from the house

You should ideally allow plenty of room for jackfruit trees as they can grow into a very big tree. I'm a typical backyard grower with limited space and so try to squeeze as many trees as possible into my garden. My plan is to have the fruits develop near the trunk, while also provide heavy pruning to ensure that it grows tall upright instead of laterally bushy!

Thank you. I was asked exactly the same question and had responded with photo attachment on my 2nd most recent posted video.

I was told the Jackfruit trees I brought are the 'seedling crisp variety' and attached is a photo (effective 27-Mar-2024) I have taken today to share with you how big the fruits currently are. Honestly, I'm not too sure if they will ripen in time given winter is 2 months away and many other Jackfruit tree growers I know out in SW Sydney also experience similar rotting issues as the cold winter month arrive! drive.google.com/file/d/1WqWhf3yipvB21PkKyReU-PObuY-rGlfb/view?usp=drive_link As with the Sherwood Jujube, it is now late I don't have any spare scion to trade with you as several months ago I had already pruned/air-layered the top section from my 4+ meter tall tree which is becoming unmanageable to give to my Aunty and now there is only minimal branches left on the tree. drive.google.com/file/d/1Wa-wrVxX0lP_C5nblzJjyLNIjFDKRH-F/view?usp=drive_link

My Kwai Mai Pink Lychee variety only gave about 2 dozens handful of delicious fruits this summer; whereas last year I got almost a hundred! I find growing several other Lychee varieties for experiment (such as Tai So, Wai Chee, Fay Zee Siu, Kaimana etc) that they tend to be biennial... meaning at fruting age they will crop one year and rest the following year to concentrate on growth. The KMP is known to be a winner growing in our Sydney's climate in producing excellent quality fruits & should be a consistent bearer all year round if you are lucky to score a good tree. Happy gardening, cheers! drive.google.com/file/d/1HzDzCaFhCrvm7SwPZXkcUFTLd4yrO0sU/view?usp=sharing

Thanks mate, I'm from SW Sydney

Thank you for watching and for the kind comment 🙂

The Paxton Prolific custard apple is very nice and I have seen many of the growers in Melbourne has success in harvesting big delicious fruits on RUclips. Everyone's taste buds are different and so best to purchase & try the fruit from Asian grocery shops first when they are in season... should you decide to grow I would recommend finding an advance tree to cut back on waiting time and getting fruits sooner. I have also seen Melbourne growers on RUclips successful with Jujube, Persimmon (get non-astringent ones such as the Jiro & Fuyu if you like eating crunchy ones similar to a crisp apple texture) and pretty sure Dragonfruit as well! Good luck & happy gardening 👍

Here where I am based in SW Sydney we can grow many fruit trees including subtropical/tropical ones like mangoes, lychees, jackfruit etc. Maybe join some Facebook Fruit Trees Enthusiastic group in Australia where you can seek advise from grower's in QLD who is more familiar with your local climate conditions. My circumstance is different I live in a residential zone and so have limited gardening space, therefore training my fruit trees to grow tall & upright suits me better... should you wanted yours to grow wide & bushy you would need to do a tip prune to encourage multiple stems to branch out - good luck and happy gardening 🙂

@@sydneyfruittreesgrower Cheers mate. Will do that. Tks

Hi mate, 1. Are you in Sydney or which state in Australia? 2. Roughly how old is your mango tree and what variety is it? 3. When you say 'don't know how to ripen it', did you mean you harvest it early still green and don't know how to make it ripen?

@@sydneyfruittreesgrower Thank you for your kind reply. My tree is 6 years old. I did harvest it when it was green but turned red last year. I'm in Sydney NSW. I've spoken with my friends and they said I need some kind of powder. This year I'm planning to just leave the fruit on the tree. Again thank you for your kind assistance.

@@Hamza_Jutt I’m not sure the powder but people usually put unripe fruits into brown paper bag with ripe bananas to help it ripens quicker. Being a 6yrs old tree should be big enough to hold onto the fruits and give you a good amount of mangoes yield each year. Here in Sydney I just leave the mango fruits to ripen on the tree and protect them with fruit fly bags (purchased on eBay) from bats that has attacked my crops in the past. You’ll find nothing beats freshly picked mangoes off the tree and taste heaps time better than the supermarket ones since they are picked too early in QLD for interstate shipping that has lost its freshness 🙂 drive.google.com/file/d/1VbTOayqUmTFqZ1pqDQYPM-8PmkYO-vzO/view?usp=drivesdk

I love to help, but my Chok Anan tree is still small.. maybe in a few years time when it is big & bushy I could prune spare scion to give you. It is an amazing tree I have seen with my very own eyes it fruited over Winter 2023, but maybe the tree is still young that all my crops splits so I had to cut them all off! drive.google.com/file/d/1y_ju_R4EHI2knuVEyu3T5ks3NNcyhKqm/view?usp=drivesdk

@@sydneyfruittreesgrower My Nam Doc Mai mango used to split as well. I'd like to recommend restrict their watering before splitting period, and umbrella them when heavy rain.

@@sydneyfruittreesgrower Glad to see your Chok Anan grow much larger and set decent size fruits, so just wondering if we can trade some scion now as previously mentioned? Thanks

Thanks @ArizonaFruitTrees for watching - happy gardening 🙂

I got mine as an advance tree last year and provide no protection. Last winter and this current one we are in, the tree looks sick… but once the hot summer weather kicks in, it will branch out nice large healthy & greeny leaves from the top and with a cluster of papaya fruits grown directly underneath 🙂 drive.google.com/file/d/1Ffrb4KNTABxnmNzjjhU3ElbMSBSKd8sX/view?usp=drivesdk

Ideally you should grow the trees you enjoy eating the fruits and have tried them out from your local grocery supermarkets. If it was the top 3 for a beginner: 1. Mango - who doesn't love eating these tropical fruits! My Kensington Pride from seedling took about 4yrs to establised and produces superb juicy & sweet fruits to eat... they are far better than the ones pruchased from supermarkets that are picked too early and shipped from interstate. Also you can get 'grafted' mango variety trees which you can expect to get fruits quicker and can browse through online nurseries such as Daleys or Ross Creek Tropicals to get an idea. We are currently in late winter and here's a stunning photo of one of my early variety mango tree that is in full bloom drive.google.com/file/d/1OAIZYMjPTjhEb0AfWgixZAz9hphfrcFM/view?usp=drive_link 2. Get a "Citrus" tree of your desire for example a mandarin, pomelo, lemon, lime, kumquat, oranges etc. Check out www.fruitsaladtrees.com/ to get ideas on multi-grafted citrus trees and also apples & stone fruit varieties. Unlike mango you harvest around or after summer, Citrus is usually done around winter and thus giving you that longer all year rounder to harvest fruits! 3. As above, 'peach' is a stone fruit and is easy to grow provided you meet it's minium requirements such as giving it a fungicide spray before buds burst to counter against the leaf curl problem, netting from fruit fly issues and providing plenty of sunlight & adequate watering. Happy gardening, cheers!

Hi 🖐Sorry for the late reply I only noticed tonight your comment was lock away in my RUclips Studio comment section for review approval. I was lucky to purchase both these mature jackfruit trees in 85L pot and guessing they would have been at least 8yrs old. They are both seedling which I instantly transplanted into the ground and they started to produce fruit the following year 🙂

Thanks for watching! Sydney here in Australia is classified as temperate to subtropical where we get cool winter and warm/hot summer... rain and sunshine is spread out evenly throughout the year. BTW about you mentioning getting no mango fruits, maybe be patient if the mango tree you are growing is propagated from seedling.. however grafted trees you can expect the tree to bare fruits much sooner or perhaps find out from other growers in your area what varieties suits your climate 🙂

Hi, I mainly use these 3 sites which I find very effective to counter against pests such as fruit flies, bats, birds etc and there are plenty of size options for you to choose that would suit your environment & situation: 1. www.ebay.com.au/itm/234312923877?var=533903939513 Netting a large 2.5+ meter fruit tree can take lots of effort and so if you only have about a dozen fruits such as papaya, mangoes & avocados like I do - this would be the best option to bag individual fruits and I find them cheap coming in packs of 50 quantity. 2. www.ebay.com.au/itm/234772441743?var=534550523473 This is another good cover to counter against fruit fly. These sizes I find good to cover a particular branch of a tree that has a cluster of apples for example or covering an entire 2 meter tall skinny columnar tree like my jujubee/apple for example. 3. lakeviewlodge.com.au/zipper-cover Here's the most recent link I have recommended to other growers in AU on my other online post and to find that some items are now out of stock which I cannot even get some for myself for my fruit trees this coming spring/summer. They are very convenient that has "size zipper(s)" which will allow you access to pick your fruits anytime inside since they don't all ripen at the very same time and you don't have to undo the large net and re-throw it back on! I understand I have recently checked some of these eBay sites to find they are out of stock and so once you know what items & sizes your are after, perhaps further search on eBay to see if you can source them from other suburbs in NSW or from interstate 👍

Thank you so much mate for the links i have spent about $300 on netting already from these links i have 50 fruit trees so far and ive even started to grow my own stone fruit seedling, i will send you a couple once they grow thanks again for your help.

Some of my lychee varieties does the same it shed old leaves when new ones emerges. They are slow growing trees such for example my kwai mai pink seen fruiting in this video was at least 7yrs old before it gave me any decent amount of fruits!

@@sydneyfruittreesgrower where are you in sydney we are in greenacre i think its south of sydney so what to do with shedding leaves as its not growing same size from buying to now

@@sydneyfruittreesgrower one more question please what would you prefer wai chee or kwai mai pink if i have place for one only?

@@SanaKhan-wm7pl kwai mai pink is a winner for me here in our Sydney climate... it bares delicious fruits & an abundant once mature enough and gets established in the ground! Wai Chee has a dwarf growing habit and can be suitable to be grown in pot if limited gardening space is an issue.

@@SanaKhan-wm7pl I am based out in south west of Sydney. To succeed with my lychees, I initially set out plans to grow multiple trees & varieties to experiment and not only relying on one. It requires patient and the trees do need well drained soil, watering, sunlight and protection from strong hot/cold winds from an early age until it gets establised.

I use a more natural organic slow release pallet fertiliser which they say won’t burn the roots. Many online sources would highly recommend you fertilise your fruit trees 3 times a year (spring, summer & autumn) but I am very busy with over 80+ fruit trees and so for my lychees/longans I only give them 2 feeds a year… once in late winter before flowering occurs and the other time when the fruitlets set gets much bigger so that it has all the extra nutrients it needs to help develop the fruits to maturity. One of my healthy and mature Tai So tree I have on the side driveway garden I left it in a pot for more than 3 years to acclimate to my climate before transplanting it into the ground. Just after a year of planting it into the ground, I noticed it grew dramatically over 2 meters high and the trunk also got much thicker considering Tai So variety plants usually has a very skinny trunk when first purchase at nurseries.
