Will canistel survive in zone 9b, I have always been fascinated by them? I read that the best variety is Aura?

Hi Sidney,

Try searching in the Tropical Fruit discussion. You can find it on the Home Screen.

This was one string I found.

I had one growing when I lived in Sarasota. Seemed to do good. Might have to protect on really cold nights or whatever while young but once established should handle it.

On a side note I have a few canistel seeds to trade if anyone is interested.

Fairchild II, in ground, fruited for me in 9B. If you have sandy soil (tends to be devoid of nutrients) I suggest you amend when planting. Mines struggled for the first 2 years.
