You may be able to grow them in Sydney if you can find a warm corner in your garden which does not get frost. You will need to spray with an anti-fungicide as soon as they flower or the flowers will fall off. They will get fruit fly in Sydney, so you will need to spray or cover in a mosquito net! Look on the internet for nurseries in Queensland and email them, they may be able to find the varieties you want. Bowen Mangoes seem to do well if you cannot find the others. _________ Of all the wonderful surprises in life, none is better than seeing that first shoot tear out of the earth and form into a wonderful plant and vegetable.. .	0 0 Alert moderator
