Now look at this beautiful thing. This is what we call a broad leaf papaya and it's name for these really beautiful large leaves. They get bigger than this so this is just a modest example of the leaves and it's quite a spectacular looking plant and it has these really lovely torpedo shaped red fruits which like other red papayas are really delicious great in fruit salads, great eaten fresh just as they are, so this is perfect and we're going to take it back to the kitchen and cut it up and show you what it looks like inside. So if you wanna grow one of these in your garden what do you need. Well firstly you need a warm, really well drained position so they like a nice sunny spot but they also like protection from extremes so extreme, hot afternoon sun, windy conditions they're not going to like. So if you can give them a nice sheltered protected spot and perfect drainage, mound up your planting site to improve your drainage and you can also plant them up against a wall which will give them a bit of reflective heat if you are in a  cool climate like down near Sydney. Ideally they are going to like a subtropical or tropical climate they are going to thrive and you'll be picking these beautiful fruits in about 18 months.

PlantNet: Secrets to Successful Fruit Growing

Site selection - Select a sunny, well drained position. For poor draining soils trees should be
planted on mounds or hills.

Pre plant - 3 months before planting, prepare soil by adding mulch and pelletised poultry,
or cow manure to the site. For pots a good premium potting mixed with about 10-20% of a
good loam soil will give the mix extra body and assist with holding water and nutrients. The
use of water crystals or a good soil wetter will assist in retention of moisture also.
Ensure the soil pH is between 6.0 and 6.5 for best results

Planting - Dig a hole twice the size of the nursery pot, do not tease the root system of
potted plants. If planting in a large pot we suggest 50 cm diameter minimum size. Do not put
fertiliser in the hole. A closed handful of blood and bone fertiliser mixed into the bottom of
the hole is fine.

If planting winter bare root trees look at the dirt mark on the base of the nursery tree and
plant this at the soil or potting mix level. For potted trees purchased in summer, plant the soil
level in the nursery pot level with your soil or potting mix and add a sprinkle of soil to cover
the roots in the nursery pot.

Fertilising young non bearing trees- The focus for the first 12-18 months is on building a
strong framework capable of bearing heavy crops. A good complete fertiliser or
composted manure is ideal. Give the tree a closed handful of fertiliser every 3 – 4 weeks
applied in a wide band from the drip line to within 30cm of the base of the tree. For pots use
half a closed handful. Do not apply fertiliser against the base of the tree as this may cause
tree death. An addition of a good trace element fertiliser twice a year is also important.

Fertilising bearing trees - From spring in year two from planting the focus now shifts back to
fruit production. Avoid fertilising during flowering and early fruit set with fertilisers high in
Nitrogen (N).( up to 15% is ideal). A good balanced fertiliser with high potassium (K) above
12% is ideal. Give the tree a closed handful of fertiliser every 3 – 4 weeks applied in a wide
band from the drip line to within 30cm of the base of the tree. For pots use half a closed
handful.

Watering - Fruit trees peak water demand is from when the first full leaf forms after trees
break dormancy. Not enough water at this time will cause poor fruit set and fruit
development. Continue to apply water in hot periods after harvest. Water needs will decrease
from April on and trees may only need a third of what is required during the growing season.
Be aware potted trees may need water more often than in ground trees sometimes every day
in hot dry periods.

Leaf removal - If leaf fall is not completed by mid June, strip leaves from trees. This is so the
tree achieves strong, even bud break in Spring, leading to larger fruit.

Pruning – Dwarf fruit trees require minimal pruning and only shaping of the tree is necessary
in winter time. For more specific information go to the pruning page on the PlantNet website.

Fruit thinning - For strong young trees up to 2 years old leave one fruit per lateral or twig.
For trees 3 years and older leave 1 fruit on small laterals and 2-3 fruit on thicker laterals. Aim
for 40-60 fruit per tree for strong healthy trees in year 3 and increase fruit numbers each year.

Buy Carambola Kembangan star Fruit Trees

Carambola Kembangan Star Fruit Tree

Star Fruit Tree Kembangan

I can vouch for the amazing taste of this grafted star fruit variety called Kembangan. Juicy to the extreme and such a strong full flavour. I have had some very special moments under Kembangan star fruit tree. Promoted as "dessert quality with few seeds" The tree crops by itself but also benefits when you have a few different carambola star fruits around. Easily kept human height in pots or in the ground via pruning & cincturing otherwise it will grow about 3-5m tall. Sensitive to frosts when young and always a good idea to net the tree before the fruit turns from green to this striking orange/yellow/star colour.

We have 44 baby Kembangans looking to move into backyards in Australia.

Transcript of Canistel Fruit Tree Grafted Emma

Now this lovely fruit is the Emma Canistel.

and I love the Canistel they have really grown on me over the years.

They also call them the Yellow Sapote and they have a very rich, sweet flesh that has the colour and texture of hard boiled egg yolks they are quite unusual the first time you try them. The Emma is a great variety because it is bite sized. So it is quite a small fruit and it's really a lovely sized fruit you can eat the whole thing in one go.

So this one is going to have to wait for about a week until it goes very soft it will start to split and that is when it's ready to eat.

So you can't eat it straight away off the tree unless it falls.

Now this particular tree has had quite a hard life and it went through a very heavy frost down to about -6, -7 which did damage it significantly but you can see how well it's come back so that was about 7 years ago and we cut it right back to remove the dead wood from it once the frosts had finished and then it re-grew so we have had no trouble with this plant at all.

To keep it small now days we are using our dwarfing

So we are girdling this plant or cincturing it

and what that does is it keeps it nice and compact

so it reduces the sap flow and the vigor of the plant and it also encourages flowering and fruiting so we get more fruit on our Emma canistel.

We also in this tree in this season have the nest of a white headed pigeon so that's actually quite a nice addition as well and she's just quietly sitting on her eggs at the moment. You might be able to have a little peak and see her in there.

Grafted Loquat Nagasakiwase - How we got our best crop ( Fruits in the Spring )

Loquat Nagasakiwase Fruit Tree

Video: Loquat Nagasakiwase Fruit Tree

Transcript from Video:
Look at these beautiful fruits now this is a Nagasakiwase Loquat and it's a beautiful tree as you can see it's just loaded with these great bunches of beautiful Apricot coloured fruits and there's one I've cut open. 3 seeds inside it but still plenty of flesh and they are really beautiful sweet fruit, juicy and just delicious. They've got a little bit of fur on the skin but you can just rub that fur off with your hands and get a nice shiny fruit. So you eat the skin and all, really lovely to eat fresh off the tree. Now the loquat is an old traditional fruit and it's a really hardy tree and this tree is fruiting this beautiful crop in Spring but the reason we have this massive crop on in the Spring is because Greg has been cincturing this tree in the Summer. So last summer he cinctured this tree and what this does is it stores all the starches and food and it gives it a bumper spring crop so this is our biggest and best ever Spring crop so we are really excited about these fruit and everybody loves them so people have been down here picking them for weeks we are really, really enjoying them. So this is the Nagasakiwase loquat.
