Excerpt from The Custard Apple in Queensland: With Notes on Its History and Cultivation Redland Bay has been called by many, and rightly so, the home of the Custard Apple - no other fruit-growing district in the State having up to the present produced such quantities of Custard Apples as are sent every year to the Brisbane and Sydney markets. It may, perhaps, be safely said that Redland Bay produces more of this fruit than all other parts of the State put together. It was in this district that the writer first saw fruiting trees of the Custard Apple, and had the pleasure of sampling their fruit. The trees were then growing in the garden new attached to the hotel at Redland Bay, which was at that time owned by Mr. William Dart, of sugar fame. Young trees from the seed of the above trees were planted by the writer, in a newly started orchard at Redland Bay, owned by the late D. J. Collins; this was about thirty-six years ago. Out of about twenty trees planted then, three trees turned out to be good croppers of fair quality fruit; the rest of the trees were duffers (unfruitful). Two, out of the above three trees, are still in a healthy and vigorous condition. Some seven years later, the fruit from the above trees was sent to the Brisbane market for sale, and it soon became evident from the demand, and the prices obtained, that Custard Apple growing would be a profitable undertaking. Among others who went in early for growing the Custard Apple in the district were Messrs. J. Moore, A. Strachan, the late H. Day, and the writer.

Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****.Excerpt from The Custard Apple in Queensland: With Notes on Its History and Cultivation In order that the history of the cultivation of the Custard Apple in Queensland may be placed on record, it has been deemed advisable to collect all available information relating to the matter and to publish the results in pamphlet form. The work has been carried out by Mr. Wm. Leslie, Assistant Instructor in Fruit Culture, who has gone fully into the matter and has received very valuable assistance in his investigations from many growers. The thanks of the Department of Agriculture and Stock are due to all those who have assisted Mr. Leslie in his endeavour to obtain reliable records, and particularly to the late Mr. Leslie Gordon Corrie, who was one of the first to recognise the value of this fruit and the suitability of Queensland for its production. Mr. Corrie not only recognised the value of the fruit, and recommended its cultivation commercially, but he made extensive plantings at his orchards at Redland Bay and Garden Island, where he tested many types and propagated those showing especial merit. Mr. James Collins, of Redland Bay, Mr. James Pink, of Wellington Point, Mr. William Soutter, of Sunnybank, Mr. Katterns, of Bowen Bridge, and others have also kindly supplied much valuable information which is incorporated in this pamphlet. This pamphlet is primarily a compilation of records of the introduction and cultivation of the Custard Apple in Queensland, together with a description of some of the best, types grown in this State; but, at the same time, it contains useful information respecting the soils and districts most suitable for the growth of this fruit, as well as advice regarding propagation, planting, pruning, cultivation, and manuring, that will be of assistance to growers, and particularly to those who purpose going in for the culture of this fruit. There is no question regarding the suitability of Queensland for the production of high-class Custard Apples, or of finding a market for the fruit when grown, as, on account of its fine flavour, it meets with a good local demand, which is steadily improving. As the fruit becomes better known the demand for it is extending, and given better marketing facilities, the market for it in the Southern States is certain to improve.
