Hi all,
I am looking into a Nashi pear for sydney. Is the Nijjiseiki Variety reasonably low chill? (enough for sydney?)Is it sufficiently self fertile?
Thanks!

Mine's only been in for three years and haven't had any fruit yet, they are either taking a long time to settle in or don't like where they are, needless to say no flowers or fruit so far. I bought mine labelled 21 century, one and the same. I've had the same problem with Shinseiki.
The Tropical Sunshu looks promising, it is the most vigerous but only in it's second year, so far so good with this one.
Oh, and I'm situated about an hours drive north of Sydney.

Don't know if this helps with Nashi, but it may be worth a try : recently found on an apple growing site (? USA?Israeli) regarding chill for apples. Said that it's the loss of foliage caused by chill which then stimulates hormone to cause growth of flowers/fruit, and this can be achieved artificially by manually defoliating tree late winter (our July/August) if not quite enough chill, and the plant is tricked into flowering.
I don't know if it works, but it may be worth a try. (I think this worked on lower chill plants, as some higher chill need true dormancy.)

Hi John,

My Rollinia is always in flower but never sets at fruit. I'm growing the tropic sun custard apple and hopefully it will give me better success.My Jaboticaba is growing well but no fruits yet.

Hi WWJ - I bought my Li Jujube as a small plant for $80 bucks which included delivery costs. I am looking to sell it for the same cost but without the pot as it cost almost $80 bucks just to buy and fill the the pot with potting mix.
