some varieties don't need 'a' or 'b' ever.

Would the Reed be one of those?

I'm not sure- I'm just learning this stuff myself.

KS
me too, fascinating stuff, I've taken my info from a book for Melbourne
conditions & it makes no mention of a or b varieties at all, stating that in
the Melbourne climate different varieties for x-pollination are not
necessary, mine is about 3 years old and had its first 'baby' this season,
it got to be about the size of a walnut & fell off, I was in mourning for
the day

sorry missed the thread for a bit whitememphis,

it ususally says on the label if the stock is 'A' or 'B' plants, some
are neither.

again whitememphis,

it is not necessary to plant both types of trees, and a reed may down
there may be one variety that does not get classified as 'A' or 'B'.

then in melbourne where the climate is such that extending the growing
season won't factor, but up here in the sub tropics that could be the
difference, but up here the 'reed' is sold as an 'A' plant.

they like full on sun so down south i would be planting them on the
northern side, to esnsure plenty of sun.
