First report on my Canistel experiment.
I grew 2 seedlings from a friends fruit planted about 3 years ago. Fruit were small sweet and moist but i read canistel is not true to type. I planted both in the one hole and about 2 years ago grafted wood from mature ‘Lyndall’ tree.
More recently ( 4-5 months ago) I grafted some of the branches with 2 other varieties, tipped the seedling leader at 1.5m leaving only 2 branches of the original seedling.
Both the ‘Lyndall’ and seedling tree are similar size (though quite different shape) but what has surprised me is it is the seedling that is flowering first not the grafted tree.
There is plenty more to go in this experiment, not least of which will be the quality of this fruit if any set.
