Correy says... You could always mail order them through daleys when they are ready for sale however if it was the only fruit tree you wanted sent to perth the freight and quarantine charges may cause it to be too expensive to be worth your while.

Leona says... Try Wandilla Nursery - in Kelmscott/Wattlegrove, they stock tropical fruit trees, many of which you cant get elsewhere...if not, perhaps they can order one in. Antoher one to try, where I have also found tropical fruit trees (which where unavailable elswhere) was Waldecks on Vine (in the Swan Valley). Hope that helps!!! | About the Author Leona Perth 5th January 2008 2:35pm #UserID: 0 |

San says... I sometimes see this Chiku fruit in Sydney's Paddy's Market. Didn't realised they could be readily grown from seed ..... the delicious varieties are Sawo Manila and Krasuey ..... I find some of the un-named varieties (those I tried in Malaysia and Singapore) to be too "grainy" in its texture. | About the Author San Sydney, NSW 7th January 2008 1:16am #UserID: 0 |

rev says... true. as noted above they may be grainy perhaps thats why i wasnt too impressed its still and intersting tree - the bubble gum tree! you cant always get them from coles. but coles does have what seems and australia wide policy of stocking wierd stuff therefore for the geographically challenged it can be a good place to get seeds back in the day i grew choc sapote, abiu, limes, mammey sapote, passionfruits, lychee,caimito, jakfruit rambutan, longan, chiku, turmeric, galangal, chinese Ya pears, californain dates,arguta berries and dragon fruit from pits from their exotic secton in the fruit n veg most of these i left behind at past residences, but they sure grew, and no doubt someone is enjoying some of them they also stock gourmet mushrooms which can be cloned they dont always have a great selection but i keep the habit of checking in.. | About the Author rev tabulam 7th January 2008 1:44pm #UserID: 441 View All rev's Edible Fruit Trees |

Shaun says... I had been checking Coles and Woolworths for the past few weeks, but alas, still no signs of sapodilla fruits :-( I was in Bunbury last week and Woolworth was having a special on Lychee @ approx $3.00 per kilo !!! Woolworth in Collie had Longan in its cold shelves. So, if anyone comes across the sapodilla fruits in the supermarkets, please post in this forum to advise. Thanks !! | About the Author Shaun Perth 28th January 2008 1:03am #UserID: 0 |

Shaun says... in http://www.daleysfruit.com.au/forum/non-fruiting-sapodilla1/ Kath says... "From Susanna Lyles book - Discovering Fruit and Nuts, page 282 Flowers may be self-infertile, so you may need more than one trees. Insect pollinated: mostly by thrips, which live within the flowers and move onto a new flower once the food reserves have been depleted, inadvertently taking pollen with them. Pollination may be a problem in some locations, although bees will do some. Fruit-set is very variable and many flowers do not develop into fruits." Does that mean that I need to acquire 2 plants before I get any Chiku or Sapodilla fruit ? | About the Author Shaun WA / Perth 19th August 2008 8:30pm #UserID: 0 |

Michael says... You can get most of the exotic fruits from South East Asia at Cabramatta and at very reasonable prices. Availability all depends on the season of course. Fruits that I have seen included jakfruit,star apple,lychees,longan,paw paws,mangoes both green and yellow,dragon fruit,sapodilla,finger bananas,mangosteen,rambutans,custard apple,carambola,soursop ,pumello, ambarellas and young coconuts. If you rather save on money then most of these fruits are availabe in cans as well. Betel leafs are also plentify here | About the Author Michael Cabramatta 28th November 2008 4:12pm #UserID: 1700 |

Kath says... A marcott is the same as an air layered plant, it is sort of like a big cutting. A grafted plant has a rootstock, therefore it is the union of two plants, a seedling on the bottom and then a piece off a mature tree on the top. Both marcott and grafted plants will flower and fruit much sooner than seedling trees. | About the Author Kath Cawongla 12th February 2009 8:55am #UserID: 2 View All Kath's Edible Fruit Trees![]() |

Dr.Ganesh Bhat says... Chikku (Sapota) can fruit from single tree without the need of second pollinator tree. Chikku tree in our home in India is more than fifty year old and still yeilds plenty of fruits twice a year. I am growing the seedling in Perth bought from Daleys to see how it performs. I know two varieties of chikku; one is rounded shape the other is of oval shape. Both varieties taste the same. Will get the picture of them during my next trip to India. | About the Author Dr.Ganesh Bhat Perth 13th February 2009 5:56pm #UserID: 1628 |

Shaun says... Namaste, Ganesh. Thanks for sharing your experience on Chicku trees ..... I like the oval Philippino variety Sawo Manila, and the Thai oval variety Krasuey .... their flash is much less gritty in texture, and very sweet. Have you got an email or contact phone so that I may get in touch ith you, please? I believe you were looking to form a shipping syndicate a little while back. I would like to order 2 plants from Daleys, and I wonder if you had already ordered your plants. | About the Author Shaun WA / Perth 15th February 2009 2:25am #UserID: 0 |

Fiona says... I purchased a very small Sapodilla from Wonder West before it closed in 2007. My tree is in a pot and has grown a lot in two years. Last years fruit is still hanging on the tree getting bigger and this years fruit is already developing, so they definitley do well in Perth. I am in Mandurah and also have a Black Sapote which is three years old and has fruit. Try this nursery in the Swan Valley for Sapodillas. http://www.tass1trees.com.au | About the Author Fiona Mandurah WA 2nd April 2009 5:29pm #UserID: 2143 |
