Tropical Fruit Discussion / Best Star apple varieties?
« on: February 29, 2024, 08:01:34 PM »
Here in Hawaii almost all grafted Star apples are ‘Haitian’, propagated by Plant It Hawaii. It seems to me not to be a big improvement on average seedlings. Frankie sold some trees of Philippine Gold which is ok. Oscar Jaitt selected a “giant” seedling. Otherwise in Hawaii it’s just purple and a few green seedlings. I think it’s similar in Florida, but I’ve planted Hipolito and Burgess from Julian Lara. He also lists ‘Lara’. I see A-1, Excalibur, and Jaco Beach listed by Excalibur.
I’m inclined to plant more Hipolito and Burgess just based on Julian’s descriptions
Perhaps you folks can give your experience with these varieties or mention some that are better.
Thanks! Steph
