- Chester recommends Howe Longans as they have big fruit and the tree is dwarf.
- Grafting Black Sapote you need wood that’s been hardened off – don’t use the soft new growth – October. The variety Bernacher is more upright but you get a lot of seconds and it is also bat prone! Maher is more rounded but is susceptible to splitting. The fruit is on the tree for a year.
- Autumn Bliss and Heritage Raspberry – AB is a late season and Heritage is early but AB has better flavour
